I am a bit behind, but some of mine have already very loosely been based on the themes.

Vix your patterns is brill

keeping to the theme isn't important at all really, it's just something to get the old grey cells ticking (and it's nice if we can all come up with variations on the theme). Getting the pics up every single week is what's important (well that's how I see it anyway!)

Ooops; I missed your post; thanks for the nudge.

777 is one of Aleister Crowleys seminal writings; it's a qabalistic dictionary; rendering words into numbers and deriving meaning from the result. Crowley was an egotistical arse however and got himself the moniker "The Great Beast" hence my photo title which should probably really have been "The Numbers of the Beast" or something but I granted myself artisic license

My new pictures:

Divine Pattern was taken yesterday at Beverley Minster. I took a lot of pictures of the windows, tiled floor and ceiling / wall beams but I really liked the shot of the pattern behind the alter.

Outside was a little bit of a cheat. I've had the flu and then got bronchitus so I hadn't had much chance to go 'outside'. Directly opposite my house is a willow tree so I staggered out last friday on a beautiful blue spring like day and took a couple of shots straight up before staggering back in. When I had chance to look at them on photoshop I was so pleased with the depth of the blue I thought I'd throw them up.

aaah I see - good interpretation!

I don't think the outside was cheating at all. You have a theme, you interpret it. Mine was outside - outside the fishtank. The fish was in it. It's all about perception, and there is no cheating as long as you can explain how your shot fits the theme!

Aye. I liked the pic of your corydoras; lovely little fishie that I used to keep myself.

I did have a similarish idea for 'outside' and took a few shots through my cat flap but I wasn't happy with any of them. I only called mine a cheat as every other picture was thought about and worked on. All I did for that was stagger 5m outside, take 3 snaps and stagger back in. Just shows that sometimes a bit of spontaneity is all you need.

So what was your pattern, Kitten?

[Kitten]

oh sorry! It was just a drop of water on my iPhone then backlit. Nothing interesting

Cool shot though, and just shows how the simplest things make good pics

thanks Will's girlfriend said the same about a 365 one which gave me the idea - she liked one I did of a droplet and asked me about it on holiday. She didn't even look disappointed when I told her it was a drop of sprite on a KFC cup

Blonde moment but can someone remind me what the theme is this week please?
