Well, here is one which I thought would be appropriate for this thread:

I'm guessing...Eiffel Tower??

What most people see as an iconic example of industrial design has been transformed through your eye into a piece of quasi-Islamic geometric design!

Wendy is way too kind. My best regards to her. :)


Yep, it is La Tour Eiffel itself. I am curious, where do you see the quasi-Islamic influence in this design?

Simply the geometric patterns I see here if you imagine this as a flat canvas - maybe not strictly 'Islamic' but certainly geometric...it could almost be a carpet pattern

Lovely. Great art from great art.

Was this done "freehand"? I always have a bit of vertigo when I try to do that! (One reason I appreciate the articulated view screen on my SX20 IS!)

Best regards,

Doug
