H_DA - repetitive geometry - colour

My first get-pushed. I was challenged by Peter Harris (@peadar). And the challenge is to focus on repetitive geometry (see fuither details below). When received this challenge I immediatly thought about this High School building in Darmstadt. And pass-by on my way home after work. The sun was still there and was almost parallel to the facade.This is a second photo of the same building, from a different angle where we see better the light-shadow effect.

Challenge: "focus on repetitive geometry. this can be lines or shapes and should include reference to light and shadow. The feature may be man-made or naturally occurring but should have some artistic merit.. As a subsidiary challenge, there should be good attention to detail in terms of basic technique (horizon, if appropriate, focus, angle of view, composition, light and shade, high/lowlights, tones and saturation etc)."
@peadar thanks for giving me this challenge on repetitive geometry. I find it great! I might go on during this week with it! this is my second photo for today.

@vincent24 Vincent, this is a great looking shot. My only comment would be that an aperture of f/2.2 means we are not getting great clarity further up the building. That might be intentional, which is fine. You might try the same shot again with a narrower aperture (perhaps no wider than f/8) and see what effect this has.

@peadar I only had my iphone with me.... I might indeed go back to this building wiht my camera (canon EOS 600D)

Fabulous geometry, light and shadow! I'd be sooooooo tempted to convert to black and white... and possibly to crop so all you get is the abstract pattern... incidentally, the dof doesn't bother me at all... I quite like the sense of depth it provides :)

@northy Thanks for your comment.. You probably seen the B&W photo of the same building on the same day in my 365 album. But the perspective is indeed different.
