This week’s Thursday’s Special is about Pattern.
Here are some repeating patterns of broken windows in an abandoned mill (and a recurring pattern in my life is searching out ruins, derelict, abandoned places). Presented in black & white to focus your eye on the patterns:

B+W was a very good choice for this one Sue.
Best wishes, Pete.
Absolutely stunning capture Sue. It looks like fine stitch work. You’ve outdone yourself again and the B&W accentuates it so much more. Love it! 😀
Thanks, Sonel!! 😀
I love this in so many ways. It’s a perfect pattern, and it’s derelict, and it’s b&w, and the pattern varies subtly.
I like your take on Browning’s Sonnet 43!! Glad you enjoyed my photograph, and it’s merits!
Perfect idea for the theme, very well captured… 🙂
Many thanks, Drake 🙂
I’m very fond of old warehouses and industrial buildings. But also perceived in the abstract, this is a most striking composition, Sue. The broken windows add to the fascination.
Thanks, Tish! I thought this image could be read on several levels 😀
Yes, black and white was a good choice here 🙂 Thank you, Sue 🙂
Thanks, Paula 😀

Great choice to use B&W for this lovely building.
Thanks, Jude…a few of you seem to agree with my choice! 😀
Yes, beautiful random patterns here.
Thanks, Robert 🙂
You have a very artistic eye Sue. This is perfect for B&W
Thanks, Pauline! I thought the colour version detracted from the patterns
Wonderful, Sue
Thank you, Mitza 🙂
Fine image Sue – a few of these buildings should be retained in their abandoned state rather than turning them all into loft apartments.
Haha…that’s not going to happen!
Smashing shot Sue.. no pun intended!
Oh I think it was, Adrian! Very punny….. Glad you like it 🙂
😆
Great choice for the showcase of patters! I love how each window is unique though 🙂
Thanks! Glad you like it, Alex
Looks like a game of ‘which two are the same’ 🙂 Interesting shot and great choice.
Like your idea about the game, Lynne! 😀
What a great eye you have Sue. I think a lot of folks, including me, would walk right by such a building and not see the art before them.
But you have to remember that decay and abandonment pushes my buttons…..
I’m sure that old mill could tell a few tales. Love the way you’ve captured the pattern in B&W.The broken panes just add to the intrigue.
I would just love to get inside…but the developer has it securely fenced, and I’m not that into risk!
Sorry Sue. My comment to Gunta went on the wrong post. 😳 Please can you delete?
Done!
brilliant!!!
Thanks, Cybele!
Good choice of B&W – and your favourite decay – nicely immersed in each other.
Indeed! Thank you 🙂
Definitely a recurring theme, Sue, and a popular choice 🙂
😀
Perfect choice for the challenge Sue.
Thanks, Madhu – glad you agree!
