Maybe it’s because there’s often been chaos in my day (and in my thoughts), but sometimes I really crave the orderly. Symmetry. Simple Geometry.
Architecture is one of the places where I have enjoyed many balanced forms. I’m drawn to the clean, crisp images of geometrically simple buildings like the triangles of the Transamerica Pyramid Center in San Francisco…
or the glass pyramids at the Louvre…
and the window in the ceiling of the (Hawaii 5-0) Court building in Honolulu…
and here are a few others…
a variety of geometric possibilities at the Eiffel Tower…
Montreal buildings, reflected in other buildings…
The Biosphere Environment Museum from Montreal’s Expo 67
What geometic shapes appeal to you?

Great post!
Many thanks, Naomi!
Magnificent buildings as well as choices! Great photos of great things – very relevant.
Thanks so much!
Pingback: Weekly Photo Challenge: Geometry (5) « What's (in) the picture?
Impressive!
Very kind!
great images…you did great job with all the photos…^_^
Thank you, Hendra!
These are all nice.
Thank yo for stopping by and for the kind comment, Connie!
Your choices are pretty impressive. Those massive buildings are spectacular in their design and function.
Thanks, Elizabeth – don’t you just love reflections like this?
Really loved the Biosphere!! So pretty!!
Thanks – it’s a fascinating place!
There is nothing simple about these geometry. Your selections of these is wonderful for the challenge.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thanks, Francine!

Excellent selection.
Thank you, Pseu!
Very cool, TRS! Beautiful shots!
Many thanks, Amy!
I like the buildings reflected in other buildings…also the Biosphere is beautiful…
I loved the reflections, too! The Biosphere was originally the US exhibit at the World’s Fair in 1967. Glad you enjoyed them – Thanks!
These are spectacular. I’m partial to circles for some reason. I guess a psychiatrist could make something of that.
The Honolulu ceiling and the Biosphere are my faves.
Thanks, Gemma – I think what I like best about these shapes is the symmetry – for me circles are not only balanced, but they also seem somehow complete. I like that!
As a Land Surveyor all shapes attract me….
My Dad was a civil engineer – he could see the structural values in everything. He used to take us out on his site evaluations, and it always amazed me what he could see with his eye and his tools!
Thanks for stopping in!
Wow, you’ve got so much going on here. I love it! I love the San Fran Euckidean TransAmerica building, the practical geometry of the Louvre and the symetry of it all too. Best is I’ve been to all these places, lived close to some and have lovely memories when I look at these photos. Nicely done.
Thank you – so glad you enjoyed them, and stopped in to visit!
Absolutely love architecture!
Beautiful!
Thanks so much!
I loved all of them! Great variety!

Thanks – my father-in-law was an architect – he made me look at buildings differently!
Cool shots!
Thanks!
Great photos for the theme. Love the Eiffel tower one.
Thanks, AD!
