Unexpected Beauty Revisited

The first 3 images are trees. The first two are Palm Trees outside of my work place, and as I was walking back from my lunch break, I noticed how beautiful nature's patterns are. Sometimes, they are much more intricate or precise than handmade ones. The third tree is actually pretty gross looking too, but as I examined the scars of this tree, I realized how beautifully and wonderfully they were able to heal themselves, and in that retrospect how they parallel the human body.



These last two pictures I consider beautiful because of the environments they create. The first was taken a couple of months back on my way home from school. I was tired, and hadn't even noticed what was going on, but suddenly I realized how mesmerizing the sky looked and I knew I had to capture it somehow. The best I could do was with my phone camera, but I have something to remember it by now. The last was a parking number on a sidewalk of Venice. And it just seemed like the perfect icing on the cake. This community really looks at everything and tries to mark it as their own.
