An unfinished house is topped with a tiled tower.
Colorful clothes line a drab grey wall
Electrical meters are bathed in funky tiles
A painting saves a wall on the verge of destruction
Lines and lines of clothes add to the color making a pattern like a quilt.
The textures of this sidewalk: bare minimum
Tallia’s coat is a pattern
Even the water shows a pattern as it reflects the sky’s color
Lime green wall and awesome details on the door.
The pattern of the camo shorts and the pile of dung looking cement 😉
Oopsie daisy! This first mosaic was created when I went with textures for a prompt… How the heck could I have done that mistake? Not sure, but below is a more direct collection of images for patterns!
Shade… you honestly really DO seek the shade.
Under a new palapa: diagonals everywhere
Red door: vertical stripes against the bricks horizontal lines
Rocks. Algae growth. Water. A cool pattern.
Notice the pattern created by the shade like a zigzag
I love Mexico. The sights, the colors, the smells, and especially the people. It is vibrant with life. The colors of the houses, the details in the tiling, and the clothes that hang to dry: each create a pattern coming together to tell a story. The story of a culture rich with history and heritage.

This is the Weekly Photo Challenge: Pattern.
Oddly enough when I compiled and edited my pictures for the prompt I had the word texture in mind. Silly wabbit!

The colors are AMAZING! Nothing like our boring uncreative suburbs where to go bold on color will land you in jail!

Years ago in another lifetime, my ex said it was time to re-paint the garage door, the front door and all the wood trim. I ran to grab my paint palette and immediately started suggested bold blues and greens. He looked at me like my hair transformed into snakes and yelled BROWN! WE ARE STICKING WITH BROWN! … that’s when I knew it was over.

I am in love with all the color and folklore that represent my culture, living right on the northern border, we lose that color in our public spaces though some of us keep it alive in our homes through textiles and pottery brought back from trips… thank you for such a lovely appreciation of Mexico, Alexandra
