Repeated patterns photo series

in #travel8 years ago

Hello fellow Steemians,
Today, more repeated patterns, all from Thailand. Tomorrow, I will post a series a photographs made in Vietnam. The first photo is another picture made in an artist supply shop, and I love the almost digital quality of the grid pattern.

The Thais seem to have an innate artistic sensibility, and one sees it in everyday displays.

I am unsure what the sticks in the following photograph are called. These decorated piece of bamboo are used for charity drives, such as for temples and schools. A giver slips a banknote into the cut in the bamboo, and the decorated stick is then placed into a holder, like a branch on the trunk of a tree; in such a way, that when every stick has a donation, and all placed into the holder, the result looks something like a tree.

I admit, it's only string, however, the colour caught my eye.

Lastly, a bunch of lockers, found in Bangkok.
