From lines to patterns. We see lines and patterns in the world around us, in nature and things man-made. Sometimes we don’t realize they’re there: on the street, across the walls, up in the sky, and along the ground on which we walk.
Today’s challenge is inspired by Evan Zelermyer‘s stunning urban, abstract, and architectural images from his “Shape, Line, Texture, Pattern” post published earlier this week. I’d love to see your interpretations of these elements, so grab your camera, get outside, and snap a great shot of shapes or lines that you stumble upon, or a cool texture or pattern that catches your eye.
Up for a multi-photo challenge? I think these types of shots look great juxtaposed against one another, so if you’re up for publishing more than one image, share multiple shots in a tiled gallery. Here’s some inspiration:
Shapes: hopscotch squares and rectangles.
Patterns: stonework on a pathway in Spain.
Lines: the side of a building at a nature preserve in Las Vegas.
Textures: bricks, stones, and tiles of different sizes and colors on the ground.
Lines: converging lines in a terminal at the Madrid airport.
Lines: unexpected street art on yellow lines on the road in London’s Shoreditch area.
Patterns: A vivid Art Deco-esque design of the ceiling of a Las Vegas casino.
Patterns: shadows of a lantern against a wall.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO (OR GALLERY) OF SHAPES, LINES, TEXTURES, OR PATTERNS.
We look forward to seeing what you come up with!

New to The Daily Post? Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’re invited to get involved in our Weekly Photo Challenge to help you meet your blogging goals and give you another way to take part in Post a Day / Post a Week. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
1. Each week, we’ll provide a theme for creative inspiration. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Friday when the next photo theme will be announced.
2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “Weekly Photo Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
3. Follow The Daily Post so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements, and subscribe to our newsletter — we’ll highlight great photos from each month’s most popular challenge.
thank you, Cheri, for the many examples – we’ll try to find similar things!
