March Square | Squares and Circles

Conversations…

This I think is my favourite. The squares within the squares on the tiled floor; the square table with its circular base; the curve of the bentwood chair; the circle on the menu which half hides the circular 1950s style sugar dispenser; the round cup and saucer circled by her hand. And a Black and White Sunday as well.

Still time to join in with Becky’s (“A life of a 40 something”) March challenge of square photographs with the theme:

  1. ‘Squared Squares’ – think multiple squares and squares within squares
  2. ‘Squaring the Circle’ – the perfect post will be a circle within a square

Mên-an-Tol

This site is one of the best known megalithic structures in Britain. The name Men-an-Tol means simply ‘holed stone’ and despite having been considered a significant and popular monument from a very early date, its true purpose remains a mystery.

It’s a mystery to me how anyone finds their way to these historic sites in Cornwall, as they are not particularly well sign-posted and often involve squeezing the car into a tiny lay-by, before scaling a stile or two and tramping along a muddy lane. Cornwall Tourist Board “could do better”.

March Square | Circles

This is one of those photos that shows the use of patterns in the composition of an image – adding depth. Even more interesting is the use of a focal point where you break the pattern and it is even more interesting to the eye (remember the rule of thirds?) if that break is on one of the intersections.

And it just happens to feature round objects. Red apple anyone?
