Monochrome abstract

Having had lots of photos to choose from over the last couple of days this morning I had to think carefully about what I was going to shoot for today’s post. We’d just been out in the back garden watching the Red Arrows again (giving the last of their displays for the Festival of Speed) when it occurred to me that our cheap old rubber mat outside the door might make a good abstract shot with its repeating patterns. It seemed an obvious choice for the monochrome treatment with it strong contrasting lines.
