It's Like Thunder ...

For this week's Sunday Challenge which had the very interesting theme of repeating patterns or items.

When it came to getting some suitable shots I decided to go to Sam Turner's in Northallerton and have a wander around their yard to look for likely subjects. Sammy's, as it's fondly referred to by locals, offers a wide range of clothing, footwear, garden products, equestrian and farm supplies to both farmers and the general public alike.

And as I suspected there were lots of interesting things to photograph, so much so that I spent about an hour wandering around and best of all not once did someone come up and say "what are you doing" - lol!

Anyway, the shot I've decided to go with shows sections of ready made rounded timber Palisade fencing, often referred to as picket fencing, which was piled up ready for sale.

Also for another of the best groups on ipernity, Sight and Sound ... it just had to be Amii Stewart with "Knock On Wood" - enjoy:

even though you have clearly laid out what this is... my mind just cannot grasp it, I want to think it's wine corks even though it only appears that way in the thumbnail!
I LOVE this.. the shape, texture, colour, tilt.. everything!
