Texture. Color. Feng shui harmony. Organic form. Sweeps and swoops on a floor in a bistro in Boston. A lone female diner of a certain age whips out her toy camera, and inexplicably takes pictures of the floor. The Millennial male waiters won't understand for years.
I once did sketch the carpet during a meeting, it was a lovely interlocking pattern that I thought would make a quilting design. If camera phones had been invented then I'd have "accidentally" photographed the floor. Given my use of technology I could have pulled that one off with no problem.
I'm an accidental floor photographer - my digital camera pretends it has taken the picture, then actually goes off when I've lowered it.
Looks like I need to stand on more interesting floors...
Beautiful shot.
Been there! (Metaphorically, that is.)

I knitted a bag like that.

Befuddling bystanders is part of the fun of blog photos. Love the sweeps n swoops.

I'd have done the same. It's an exquisite pattern!

With a floor like that, you CAN'T have been the first person to take a picture of it. It's stunning.

And I say unto you, Fanning the Flame Mittens (see 'em on Ravelry). Lovely floor.
