Triangles/ Photo Hunter

Triangle in green

This week's Photo Hunter challenge: triangles

OK, I admit I'm a bit obsessed with gables this week...but aren't they fascinating, especially these on old homes?

Triangle in brick

Three-sided figures, but all different sizes. Even the angles are not the same.

Triangle in purple

A triangle is a triangle is a triangle...NOT!

    Oh, how I love the older homes, they just don't build them with the same character anymore. I have been getting pics of all the old Loyalist homes here in Picton and I just love the detail. These are beautiful shots. Thanks for sharing and again have a great weekend.

    I don't blame your fascination with gables -- they are beautiful! I am a little surprised at purple tho. . .

    How interesting they each are and even tho similar in shape they are individual in execution.

    Gorgeous triangle photos, EG... I especially like that 3rd one although I'd never choose purple for the color of my home... But that one is pretty!!!

    Hugs,
    Betsy

    Lots of triangles! Besides the main ones that you list, there are the bits and pieces of the roof or chimney, adding more triangles to each of your photos! But there are such differences in each of the gables; makes you think about why there are the differences, and why one appeals more than another...
    Or even, why did they paint it purple?

    Oh these are all wonderful. The last one almost has a hansel and gretel feel to it, for me. Happy weekend.

    They are beautiful! Not sure which is my favorite...I am always looking at things like this and thinking how beautiful, but how much work.

    Interesting ideas for triangles, the craftsmanship is just wonderful. We don't see much of that quality/nostalgia in our homes here in California.

    All very nice! You mention gables- I've been noticing brickwork lately, especially on a lot of old buildings- some of it is beautiful!
