Lens-Artists Challenge: Harmony

This week’s challenge is to portray the concept of ‘harmony’. It seems to me that symmetry is one way of showing harmony.

The Saint-Martial Centre in Limoges is a relatively small city centre shopping mall. Somewhat unusually, while the car park is at street level, the three floors of shops and restaurants are below it, due to the fact. that the building is set into a sloping street.

As a consequence, it’s possible to look down onto the shopping levels, in this instance providing a harmoniously symmetrical, yet somewhat arresting image.

Cellpic Sunday: Take It From The Top

This view from the top floor of the Centre Commercial Saint-Martial (it’s a shopping mall) in the city of Limoges struck me as interesting in an abstract yet also symmetrical – thanks to some judicious cropping – way.

Sweeping

The BurJuman Centre is one of the oldest shopping malls in Dubai, and features a couple of grand sweeping staircases, with elements of Art Deco. This is a view taken from the ground floor, looking up to the balcony and ceiling above. The image is almost abstract and works quite well in black & white, I think.
