This week Tina invites us to think about Curves; “…pay some attention to curves – in nature, in architecture, on our roads and in our lives … just about everywhere if you think about it.”
Curves can be defined many ways; as a rounded line or shape, a curve ball is something baseball players and fans know all about, school test papers graded on a curve and then there is the person or organization that strives to stay ahead of the curve instead of behind it! I decided on a few unrelated pictures showing curves as smooth, rounded lines, shapes or path. Except for the last image these pictures were taken in Charleston, SC and the surrounding area.

Could not resist this wonderful picture of the whimsical piano keyboard advertising piano repair. A great example of curves painted on the wall as advertisement! This was taken on one of our nearby islands.
Charleston is well known for its numerous, individually crafted ornamental wrought iron gates and fences.
Beautiful water fountains in area parks contribute to the overall relaxing atmosphere around Charleston. Most everything is curved in this scene; the fountain waterfall, circular stone base, the grouping of leaves on each tree top are also circular by nature.
When in Charleston one evening photographing night lights I was drawn to this store window…. I quickly realized how people of all ages are comforted by such soft, colorful and hug-able dolls.
Initially when Tina selected Curves as the photo word challenge this week I immediate thought of this metal sculpture in our house. Using Topaz software a little color was added to the soft, shiny, metal-gray tones.
Hope you enjoy this selection of Curves. To see Tina’s blog go to www.travelsandtrifles.files.wordpress.com/2019/01/natural-curves.jpg.
