Thanks, Penny, for the Sun-Catching challenge!

I have a fascination with especially interesting patterns, both natural and manmade.  So for this challenge, I am looking for entries where the overall texture, design, or pattern IS the photo, instead of just adding interest to another subject.

It might be a treeline, a single tree, or just the bark.

It might be wet rocks (this photo borrowed for example only), or a dry creek bed.

Maybe it's from a bountiful harvest, or on your window sill.

Sometimes it's manmade, like apartment balconies, a medallion facade, or fence post bundles.

And reflections can be a good source:  pier reflection, or building reflections (notice the diagonal lines - this is three buildings reflected on one building).

So for these two weeks, see beyond the subject into the patterns around you.  This is not meant to be an exercise in abstract art, so make it a design that we can recognize.

Pat has agreed to take the next challenge - hope it isn't all things adobe (there aren't any here) ;)
