really like this one, reminds me of a colorful building here (think, I posted a shot in a former challenge as 'ruby's cube') - wonderful find, and great compo! :o)

I would like to beat the full Pending gallery that Maurice had:-)

I'm not sure we want any tension from the host. You'll start kicking everyone to pending or something. -COAmature

Geez thanks all:-) I shot a few of these with just the coloured paver's But they just just sort of looked nice but when I added part of the bitumen road it seemed to give it that needed..........tension:-)hehe
Thanks again:-)

This somehow doesn't compute as a 'Road'. I guess that is the true sign of the artist.. to find and transform an object, especially something so prosaic. I think it can be said that all three of your first entries have in common something that wasn't shown in your examples (so soon deleted from Pending). They are all simple objects with subdued painting or tints where the 'pattern' is an embedded component of the object, not a derived result of the combination of several objects or pieces of a larger 'object' as in most of the examples. Power in simplicity. -tv

It sure is a great abstract with much appeal! (You know how I love 'em!) shu

this is the first image i clicked in the album. this is an excellently simplistic contemporary abstract image with pleasing colors, interesting textures, and smart composition. congrats on your win and especially for this beautiful shot. -Abstract
