Honeycomb
Comments:
Welcome to the group.
The title makes one think of worker bees rather than something sweet. There is a bit of symmetry in the image, which because it is not complete, adds to the interest.
And welcome from me too.
Rex - perhaps the architect wanted a little bit of asymmetry: it certainly makes the building visually more interesting. The right hand side does stray a bit up and down.
To me, 'beehive' would come to mind more readily; and are these worker bees living here or are they further up the food chain?!!
Buenos días and welcome,
This is a wonderful front view of a building, with repititious patterns but yet the individuality of the home owners coming through.
The pattern and colors remind me of the abstract paintings from the 1960s and earlier.
And one more welcome, Albano.
An interesting view with the overall pattern going on and then coming in closer to see individual squares. I am curious about the orange "stripes". Also wondering just how many floors are in this building.
There is a fair amount of economic and social history in this one shot - the outbreak of air con units, the vestigal gardens, the open or closed-in balconies.
The window shutters suggest a climate, and the splash of colour suggests a culture. This isn't Aberdeen!
Oh, and pretty to look at too.
A belated welcome to Stills, Albano. Trust your participation here as as rewarding as it has been for me.
The patterns, distance and subdued colours all work well together. Given no top nor bottom of the building is captured you have no sense of height here. I'm going for high up given the attempts for some 'back-yard' horticulture. Like Colin, I do find this rather good on the eye and also has many layers to keep the interest amused too.
I join the welcoming crowd!
The rigourous composition suits well the very straight architecture. I like the (almost) symmetry.
