Denna veckas utmaning i WordPress handlar om geometri och i LetsBeWild handlar den om vatten. När jag tagit fram ett urval bilder ser jag att en del av dem passar väl in på bådas teman, så…jag gör ett försök att koppla samman några stycken av dem.
Vatten är ju förutsättningen för allt liv, så vi är beroende av det – och inte minst beroende av att det är friskt och rent. De flesta människor lyssnar också gärna till vattnets brus, porlande eller droppande. Ljudet uppfattas oftast som mycket rogivande. Vi människor älskar också att vara i närheten av fria vatten, att betrakta vattnets rörelser och skiftande färger. Helt naturligt gör vi många avbildningar av vatten och av sådant som har med vatten att göra. Vi är ju beroende…
Bildvalet den här gången hoppas jag ska spegla några av mina tankar. Gå in på länkarna och se hur andra, världen över, ser på både geometriska figurer och på vatten!
When I had picked out some photos for this week´s challenges, I suddenly noticed that some of them matched both themes! So, I decided to try a combination of the two. My thoughts went like this…
Water is most essential to life on Earth and we have to keep it clean and fresh in order to survive. Most people also love to listen to the sound of water, it may be the waves of the Big Ocean or the tiny trickling from a hidden well. We find peace in the sound. We also love wild waters, being able to watch every movement of the waves and the shifting of colours in them. It comes natural to us to draw, paint or photograph water – or somehow depict what we think has to do with water. We simply cannot resist this urge…or, apparently, doing it the geometrical way!
These are my entries for the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Geometry and for the LetsBeWild.com Wild Weekly Photo Challenge: Water
A drop of water in the ceiling lake. Lamp by Antoni Gaudí
Water – optical illusion in bathroom by Gaudí
Art using water and steel – Auckland harbour, NZ
The old Roman aqueduct in Segovia, built of unmortared granite blocks.
Not only these stones are shaped by water – we all are!

Where were those amazing round rocks?
On the east coast of New Zealand
Oh my, this lamp! It has called to me as one of the three suggestions after one of your most recent posts so I came to look. And I love all the other photos too. But this lamp!! 😮
I love it too, Manja. Wish I had it over my bed…imagine waking up to that view!
They lie off the east coast of NZ, South Island. Glad you enjoyed my trip!
Enjoyed your selection of photos, you took us for a quick skip around the world! Interesting combination of water and geometry; The Gaudi spiral is superb. Where is the last location with those pudding-shaped rocks?
These are wonderful choices… I love how different they are too. 😉
Glad you also like them – and, I enjoy trying to make things different, when I can…
Wow, superb!
You make me happy – thank you!

These are all gorgeous! 😉
Thank you very much – makes me happy!

i especially liked the first two and the last one 🙂
Thank you for your comment and for stopping by!
amazing! I like all the photos! especially the first one 🙂
Thank you! Gaudí is my favourite architect. Nature was always in his thoughts when he created his art.
Wonderful pictures! My favorite was the last one.

Thank you! Yes, those stones lie resting in the sweeping waves off the east coast of NZ.
