I am a fan of old stone…love both photos VJ. And I enjoyed the peaks on the house and repetition in the cypress trees, too. Very appealing as are the tiny bits of gingerbread. Love! Thank you!

“Lines that guide” the eye around the page are an important aspect of composition in visual art. The trick is to keep the eye moving and the viewer interested. Both of these photos are very engaging.
