P. A. Moed explains the reasoning behind this week’s Challenge:
- Architects in ancient lands, like Greece, Rome, China, and Egypt, experimented with form and balance. They discovered that the human eye likes patterns and architectural features that are symmetrical. That’s why a row of pillars or arches is pleasing to the eye.
In January, self canvassed South San Francisco and Millbrae for Elizabeth Warren. This was the canvassers’ meeting place, in South San Francisco. She chose this picture because of the enthusiasm for Warren, and the two armchairs.
Stumbled on this sculpture on London’s Canary Wharf, last November. Very “Handmaid’s Tale”!!!
Finally, trees of the Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annaghmakerrig, Ireland. It was October.
Stay safe, dear blog readers. Stay safe.

I loved it too. I didn’t expect it, it doesn’t even appear on any guidebooks? I was headed to the Museum of the Docklands, and just stumbled on this square.

Really love those statues – perfect symmetry but not identical. Excellent

And the surrounding buildings are all big international bank headquarters. Quite a contrast!
