When I spotted this abstract design on the peeling wall of a building, I was taken with the tension created by its contrasting colours and shapes. Now when I ponder this image for any length of time, I start seeing fanciful creatures playing or even fighting. What do you see?

I came across this weathered wall at an old abandoned house not far from where I live and was taken with the scaly pattern formed by the peeling paint, which vividly shows the ravages of time. Over the years, the owners have let the large property gradually fall into a state of disrepair. It probably won't be long before the house gets torn down, so I plan to return with my camera to continue exploring the unexpected beauty that so often accompanies neglect and decay.

I never get tired of photographing the weathered stone walls in our neighbourhood. Every time I look at them, I see new abstract designs and patterns created by their talented builders. However, I was drawn to this natural stone wall mainly because of its earthy colours, which are the result of Mother Nature's artistry.
