Follow the light - follow the light. Seriously, a very satisfactory minimalist composition. For all its simplicity, it holds your attention and is pleasant to look at for a long time.

I think I posted a different version of this last year.

Easy to identify the subject, but perhaps it qualifies more as an abstract than a pattern or texture.

This thread has been a little quiet. The abstract below is an accidental, cropped from a much larger image because I noticed this patch when I enlarged the image doing some PP.

From the Rainbow Exhibit at the Toledo Museum of Art. The rainbow was made up of thousands of strands of fiber. I wasn't sure they would allow photos so I stuck my wife's Sony p&s into my pocket, just in case. I wish I had taken my dslr but these came out pretty well.

A simple slow shutter shot with a little upward movement into some woods. Nothing special, but I do like the colors.

Wasn't sure whether this image should go here or on the "patterns" thread. A very deep crop that has made the image a little more graphic than realistic.

This thread has been quiet for a while. Witches(or "witch's") broom.

That is cool! A visual adventure. Could be a distant-future space station.
