Silky Connection

Gate Scrollwork and Door, Legare Street, Charleston, SC

One of Charleston's hallmarks is its decorative ironwork, as seen on this gate. Notice the little cobweb of silky gossamer spun between two adjoining arms of scrollwork... a small example of nature's symbiotic connection with the works of man.

    Isn't it interesting how most of the man made objects are symmetrical while all the objects from nature like the cobweb and the vines are not.

    A nicely symmetrical shot. But did you know that decorative prayer mats have a deliberate flaw because only Allah is perfect?
