“Design in art, is a recognition of the relation between various things, various elements in the creative flux. You can’t invent a design. You recognize it, in the fourth dimension. That is, with your blood and your bones, as well as with your eyes.” — D. H. LAWRENCE
In case you’re wondering, this is a street grate with a small branch and pebble trapped within it’s arms.

Love the graphic quality of this, Monte. Very nice.

Thanks, Ken.

It is a beautiful design. When I first saw it, I thought about Charleston for some reason. Perhaps it’s because there are lots of gates in the city and they have ivy growing amongst them. Very nice, Monte!

When we remove objects from an image that give a reference we move more towards the abstract. I think most of us we will respond just as you did. Hope you’re having a good weekend and again welcome back.

It’s always amazing to find pleasing harmony and design in ordinary places – and wonderful when someone recognizes it. Well done.
Monte Stevens
Thanks, Bill!

I love that quote. Thanks!
I saw a fence also. The tones are lovely.
Monte Stevens
Yes, it does look like fence. Again, perspectives change with our composition. Thanks!

Monte, it was only that limb which gave a hint this grate was horizontal rather then vertical and even that wasn’t definate. Nicely seen and captured!
Monte Stevens
Thanks, Earl!
