Tangle Hunting - Streets of NYC

While in New York City for the NAEA Convention, we had some time to walk around the streets of midtown Manhattan. We played our tourist role well as we walked slowly, enjoyed the warm day and took pictures. The only difference between us and the other tourists is that we were photographing patterns.

Here's a look at some of what was in our camera. Descriptions/comments are placed below the image.

Couch upholstery in hotel lobby

Looks a bit like punzel!

 

 It's from this sign

 

 Carpet pattern in the hotel elevator. Hints of mooka and fengle with an echo below in hollibaugh fashion.

Here's something to play with.

Chair seat and back give another inspiration to play with hollibaugh.

 We've hit "tangle gold"!

 

 How many tangles (names please!) can you see in this image?

How about this one?

 

 Or, this one?

 

 Here's a close-up of that last one. What a great rendition of ynot!

 

 This is interesting.

 Here's a view from a different angle. This could be fun.

 Patterns seem to be . . . well . . . everywhere.

 Love those circles!

 This might be interesting. Let's look closer . . .

 Lot's of possibilities to explore here.

I left this image full size. Sometimes it's easy to miss the inspiration that's all around us . . . particularly if it's in familiar surroundings.

All of these images were taken within about a block from the corner of 57th Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City.
