Now granted I could ... it's not like there's a rule about it, but I'm a bit off beat to start with and I kinda like traveling to the beat of a different drum. But I was thinking, this could be tough, other than a couple obvious things not a lot came to mind ... to start with. But as my Magic Man always used to tell me "You have to look at it sideways" and the more I thought about it, the more things I came up with ... and I couldn't pick 'just one'.

This is perhaps my most unique take on this theme. It is inside a lighthouse looking out. It was quite the heady feeling to be seeing all those parallel perspectives simultaneously. So this will be my entry, however I have runners up too :)
Golden Ear
Technically this isn't one of my best, but it's fun. This was one of my very first experiments with selective color when I was learning how to edit photos. The rows upon rows of kernels argued they best represented the theme. Mother Nature presents us with different types of parallels also ...

And yes, now that I've shown that I CAN think for myself I'll show you the abstract too ;)

Thanks Carmi, I had fun with this.
That mushroom is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the last pic?
Hi M.A.S. The abstract is looking down on some venetian blinds. The window is in the background and the shot is backlit. I took it while doing a study of light and shadow.
ReplyDeleteI may have played with the color a bit, for me this one was all about art.
Clever thinking! These photos are all fantastic and interesting :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you included your runners up. Beautiful and fun.

ReplyDeletethankyou
Pretty interesting. Taking what some people would think of as mundane and pushing them into un-mandane-ness.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely you had fun with this week's parallel! Outstanding snaps! I thought last week was fun, but it just keeps getting better! How does Carmi do it? I'll check out your ideas too! I especially love the glimpse of water throughout in your light house snap! TY so much!
ReplyDeleteI really liked the lighthouse till I scrolled down and saw that AMAZING mushroom!!!! Great shot!

Agog and aghast...these are wonderful. I really love how you juxtapose human-made scenes with ones from nature. I expect Bright Eye, in particular, to star in one of my upcoming dreams :)
ReplyDeleteAnd no worries about your nearly-identical one. It's all cool, especially when captured with such care as you show here.
Really great shots! And I love that fungus!
ReplyDeleteWho'd have thought of a corn cob!? what a great interpretation.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos :-)

That mushroom is incredible! I like the blinds on the window, it took me a minute to realize what it was. I like that.
ReplyDeleteThe light house is amazing, this is a rarely seen angle, and I really like the way you get multiple broken scenes of the coastline, simply grand. I also enjoyed the mushroom, I am particular to macro, the way the mushroom comes to focus all around is spectacular, I would love to have a carport built to look like that. :D
ReplyDeletethe mushroom image is incredible!
ReplyDeleteYes, the Mushroom is my fave!
ReplyDeletewow! really nice pics :)
