Imbalanced Balance

Perhaps -  after all the grey and soggy wet - I was seeking out some color. Some humor. Some laughter. Some light.

Perhaps - it was balance I was seeking..in this season's imbalance.

Perhaps - it was just something different. Something simple. Something graphic. Something that has no real story. Something that just so happened to catch my attention and never-ending wandering eye.

Excellent capture! The lines and colors make such a wonderful graphic design.

Fantastic, creative abstract. What a wonderful sight on a gray and rainy day!

It reminds me of the TV test card that used to come on late at night or of the trial print my printer produces after I install a new cartridge.

A never-ending wandering eye is the perfect tool for awesome photography. :-)

"Perhaps - it was balance I was seeking..in this season's imbalance." How perfectly put! I understand your words completely...this photo is beautiful and comforting with its straight, neat lines and cheerful colors.

all the lines and shadows, they grab me... a bit Mondriaan

So refreshing in a too-dull world . .

so vibrant and colourful and those horizontal and vertical lines make for a really great shot for the middle of winter!

I love the lines and colour....already craving colour this early in the winter :)

Imbalanced balance is the best kind :)

Marcie - OK, you had me at "graphic". It's a beautiful, saturated Mondrian. Love the lines and the shapes of color. An amazing abstract delight. One I wish I had taken.

December 9, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterBrenda

This is a perfect example of miksang (good eye)...the lines/the colors....such a distinct image Marcie!

Loved it when I opened your email! Such a change that it startled me! Great job!

December 9, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterGotham Girl

Yay! Love the colors. Love the design!

December 9, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAnita Bower

Wow - bright and sheery and abstract. Excellent to see and a great job of keeping all those lines in square.

I thought of Mondrian right away! Great energetic image. And I also love the grey watery late fall early winter ones.

December 9, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterCarolyn Stone

Is it for real? I can see the siding of a house but the rest looks like someone's artistic touch.

Marcie ("Piet") Scudder . . . .

Very well done.

December 9, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterS

This is fun; the color does give one a lift.

December 9, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterConnie Smiley

this is a delight ..and the questions amaze me!!

I am always on the lookout for the "visually interesting" and I can tell that you are too. It almost looks like a piece of graphic art!

December 9, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterPatty

Bravot, c'est tout simplement bien exploité.

December 9, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterJMS*

Bravo !
Sans le "T" mais avec le point d'exclamation, bien sur.

December 9, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterJMS*

Very good abstract.!

December 10, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterroland theys

A poster of this will look great in my living room, say 20x30?

December 10, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterKen Bello

I'm so glad your eye wandered here--fantastic abstract

December 11, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterChristopher

I almost had to double check when I saw this photo - not your usual style but I am absolutely in love with it.

December 11, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterJamie S

December 11, 2011 | Unregistered Commenteryz
