    Thank you so very much, Hélène! This is an amazing pattern!

    I’ve never seen anything like this, but I have found that specific locations on the shore tend to have their own specific, recognizable patterns…

  • So this might be the fingerprint of Failaka northeastern shore. Time to start another of your collections ! ;-)

    Thank you – ‘fingerprint’ is the expression I was looking for! I even had someone point at one of my beach pictures, and say ‘Oh, we have that at Bloemendaal!’ – and indeed Bloemendaal was exactly where it was taken… My beach collection is ever-growing, I have posted only a small sample so far… :)

    Ou bien une dizaine de camions, Helene… Merveilleux!

  • Camions qui auraient dû sauter un bel escalier rocheux en arrière… Et puis il n’y en a pas autant sur l’île !!! ;-) Merci encore John (et pour votre excellent accent français !)

    Quite strong patterns, amazing.

  • Thank you Lorraine, who says geometry is a creation of the mind ?

    …there’s a great sense of place in your pictures from the island, Hélène – so bleak, wild and wonderful. It would be a tragedy if that development went ahead and it was turned into yet another ‘premier world class destination entertainment resort’

  • Thank you Paul, I almost wish for a new big financial crisis to make them realize the insanity of these “idealistic” yet purely cash income motivated elaborations…
