Dale offers the prompt “art for art’s sake” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
I took the two photos below of ancient flooring inside a structure in Jerusalem. I cropped and adjusted the color and brightness of the originals. Outside of making sure the horizon or other flat surface, if there is one in a photo, looks flat that is all I normally do to photos.
If you forget what these are photos of, hopefully they might be viewed as abstract art or art for art’s sake.


I really like these, the patterns in the…limestone, I think, are very cool. You’re right, they are nicely abstract.

Thank you, Willow! Very interesting song from 10cc. While they were active in the 70s I wasn’t listening to any music at all. So, this is the first time I heard the song. A couple of lines of their lyrics stood out: “Money talks to me” and “Burn me in hell, but as long as it pays”. Thank you again and blessings to you, Willow!

These are great pictures for the ancient flooring they are, and also art for art’s sake. They actually remind me of my grandmother’s home.

As stone flooring they impressed me. They were not very smooth, but smooth enough. I imagine they were very thick slabs. They might have even been a street at one time.
Thank you, Pragalbha!
