It was time for the photo challenge again! In March the theme was vehicles and in April the theme was water. This month's theme is ... patterns! A really exciting and fun, but also challenging theme.

Photo challenge in May
It is the travel blogger Maria's memoirs which organises the photo challenges, and the theme for May is "patterns". It's about all kinds of patterns you can see around you, both natural and man-made.
I found this theme fun, but quite challenging. The hard part for me has been to figure out where I might have seen patterns ... Anyway, here are the results, which I have chosen to divide into striped, chequered, round, hexagonal, floral and more designs.
Marginal
The zebra is a striped animal, the stripes never run out. But there are also many other things around us that are striped. Here are some striped motifs that have stuck to my camera lens.
Rusted
Where do you find chequered patterns? In all sorts of places, I think. We were most surprised in Doolin in the west of Ireland, where the cliffs have cracked into an almost perfect chequered pattern.
Round
Patterns with round shapes can be found in various places, both in nature and in architecture. For example, we have found round shapes in Gaudi's architecture in Barcelona.
Hexagonal
You might think that hexagonal patterns should be made by a human hand, but that's not necessarily the case. The stone formations Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland are all hexagonal, and completely natural.
Flowery
You see floral patterns from time to time, for example on tiles or textiles. Here are some floral patterns I found in the archive.
More designs
I found a lot of different patterns in our photos, and many of them don't fit into labels like striped, checked or floral. Here is a selection of other patterns.
Bonus: Mönsterås
We conclude with a bonus picture from the resort. Mönsterås, which we visited with our motorhome in 2009. The picture is included only because of the fitting name of the place, but if you look closely you can probably find some patterns there too.
Do you have any special photos or memories on the theme of patterns?
Feel free to tell us, or make your own post with the photo theme "patterns".

Mönsterås! Haha!
Have you realised that patterns without dots become monsters? (Think of it now!)
Nice pictures! Like the ceramics best and the carpet was nice!

Haha, pattern or monster, the dots really make a difference sometimes!

WOW! What pictures! Oh what an order you have in your archive! I am really impressed.
The fence in Schleswig Holstein is absolutely fantastic! These are living trees that are intertwined. I've never seen that before. The chequered stones were also cool. Funny about Mönsterås, that was clever!

Hahaha, Mönsterås! What luck that you were there so it could come with a picture on the theme 🙂
Fun theme. I'm impressed that you came up with everything.

Funny that there is a place called Mönsterås! Once again, fun interpretations on the theme, Moroccan patterns are among the most beautiful there are... Thank you for joining us this time as well 🙂 .
