Bandstand

I have been out today to our girlie lunch and haven't had much time for photos.

I took this photo on Sunday as we were walking in the park before we went to the theatre.

I just loved the pattern on the roof of the bandstand. It looks like the underside of a giant umbrella

[HelenM]

You've captured the symmetry beautifully

[Jenfurj]

Great angles and contrast of lines.

[Chris K]

great pov. I did think it was a large umbrella

[ChristineL]

Great shot, love all the lines. I thought it was a garden parasol at first glance.

[Lynda McG]

Nice effect!

[Joyce]

What great patterns Babs. It pays to look up sometimes!

[Sam]

I like it in B&W!

[Sue Cooper]

A wonderful capture. It does look like a giant umbrella.

[Peter]

Superb patterns, light and monochrome tones Babs:)

[Sue]

Guess it is based on the same principle as an umbrella. Love the patterns

[sally agnew]

A beautiful pattern Babs :)

[Corinne]

makes me think of the Eiffel Tower....maybe because i'm French and i miss Paris ;)

[Paul]

Fabulous, makes some great patterns, and works great in b&w :)

[Helen Jane]

It is lovely. Our bandstand is closed so that you cant go inside to take photos - which is really annoying. The patterns are wonderful aren't they?

[Susie]

Lovely abstract

[Gosia]

Great capture.

[Leslie]

Wonderful lines and pattern

[John&Ann]

Well spotted.Great patterns.

[Danette Thompson]

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very cool. I love the shapes and textures.

[gloria jones]

Neat capture of lines, pov

[Taffy]

I like the geometric nature of this composition.

[Margo Sayer]

Haven't seen a bandstand for years. There used to be one in my home town in the Isle of Man.

[carol white]

Great lines, a super monochrome shot

[Catherine]

Beautiful. Love all the lines and looks so good in black and white - and on black too!

[Pyrrhula]

Great B+W capture of the construction and lines

[Stephanie]

I thought it was the underside of an umbrella until I read what you wrote and looked at the picture properly. The lines and shapes look great in b&w.

[Pat Knowles]

Bandstands, that conjures up sunny afternoons in the park listening to the band, do they still do that I wonder?

[Mariana Visser]

Nice conversion to B&W

[bkb in the city]

Love all the shapes in this one

[Islandgirl]

Lovely design and b&w processing!

[Sharon]

Love the lines and patterns!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great shot of the lines and patterns they make.

[Tammy]

Love the patterns here! Fantastic composition. Fav!

[Marnie]

It sure does, and I guess in essence that's exactly what it is. Whatever, I think it's a great shot with all those strong lines.

[Babs]

@happypat Yes they do still have concerts in Victoria I believe. At this bandstand they had Carols in the Park at Christmastime.
