From JohnBo our challenge leader this week,
“This week, the challenge is to examine your gallery or go on a photo walk. The objective is to find examples of photographs that feature compositional elements such as lines, patterns, or colors. There are times that you can find all three examples in one photograph, as in my opening photo of a sandstone outcrop. Centuries of erosion from wind and water have created the pattern of lines and earth tones in this sandstone. Photographing it at an angle allowed me to feature more of the outcropping, with the bonus that diagonal lines are typically more dynamic than vertical or horizontal lines. The angle of the sun in late afternoon provided shadows that enhanced the sense of depth in the variations.“
I am starting with one from over 10 years ago, a fav of mine fall colours, lines of the field of corn partially harvested.
A massive flock of geese on our beach last fall, getting ready to coordinate their flight patterns!
Steps leading down to the beach, where more of the flock has gathered with the beautiful fall colours framing the image.
Boardwalk leading to the beach
I am an avid lover of off roading when we get to experience views like this when on and off roads!
A fav as the sun hits at the right angle, the fall colours, the orbs and sun flare and the trees leading into the machine 😉
A late summer fav when the fields are being harvested, not necessarily lines, but definitely colour and patterns! Rural living 🙂 The corn rows are fun for lines!!!
I am loving these challenges, they not only push me to look into my collection of images, they remind me of the beauty I have photographed this year and even into year previous. Another beautiful reminder that when you see something that peaks your interest and you snap a photo or few of it… there will be a time to share these images that your heart pulls you to! ❤

Thanks for joining in the challenges, Pamela! Your autumn colors and harvest lines and patterns have certainly met the challenge. Those warm autumn colors dominate the scenes in the fall, for sure.

Such a nice series, Pamela. I loved the way you worded “coordinating their flight pattern” Clever. but the once making me wish I was with you was the boardwalk leading to the beach.

The years of my husband saying he wanted a machine, and then finally caving and getting one… life changing as a photographer to get IN nature like that! LOVE it and feel so blessed!
