Structure by olivetreeann

Structure

Structure- noun. 1. Something made up of a number of that are held or put together in a particular way. 2. The way in which parts are arranged or put together to form a whole makeup. 3. The interrelation or arrangement of parts in a complete entity. 4. Something constructed, such as a building.

One of my sons' favorite picture books when they were little boys was called "Building a House". It had very few words, but they loved "reading" the story of the builders, plumbers, painters and masons who put the house together piece by piece. This shot brought back some fun memories of those times and tales.
Very clever shot! I had to twist my neck round to see how you'd done it! Love the colours too.

@jmj Oh Jennifer, it wasn't as tricky as the "Still" shot- just shot straight up into the ceiling while tilting the camera. Used the "Boost" feature in Picnik to give the colors a bit more depth. And that's it- nothing fancy this time. Thanks!

I like to take "structure" shots, too, Ann. I love the way that you did this one. . . plus the colors just POP! Nice work.

It's an exciting photo, full of brightness, color and shapes.

The colors of the various lines are very appealing. Almost like a Modrian painting.

@kerristephens Thanks Kerri!
@karenann Thanks Karenann- they were nice and sunny on their own, but the Picnik effect gave them just a little more zip.
@digitalrn Thanks Rick- this one "came to me" today as I was doing my swimming exercises.
@allie912 Wow- Mondrian! Thanks Allison!

Ooh. That's good for structure. I can see why you had three choices. Wonder what the other two were...

Great shot! I love the colours and patterns - I can see how it would remind you of the book too :) Thanks for your lovely comments about my pics too :)

@potsbypam thanks so much Pam!
@rogley8 Thanks Richard- I liked yours too! The numbers are the dictionary definition- just thought it was interesting that the picture fit each one. I did take other shots though- I might post a couple of them later.
@alia_801 Thanks Alia! And you are quite welcome!!
