Weathered Wall Abstract

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?

Old Metal Lamp Post

Some of the most interesting abstract art isn't hanging in galleries, but rather it is waiting to be discovered in the world around us. For instance, during a recent outing, I decided to pause and have a closer look at peeling paint on the surface of an old metal lamp post. When I went to photograph what I saw, an intriguing abstract design took shape in the viewfinder of my camera.
