CR2_0841 WIC # 110 - Symmetry and Patterns

-This Weekly Challenge: "Symmetry and Patterns"

We are surrounded by symmetry and patterns, both natural and man-made.
They can make for very eye-catching compositions, particularly in situations where they are not expected.
Another great way to use them is to break the symmetry or pattern in some way, introducing tension and a focal point to the scene. -

"Erected in 1917, the Memorial Arch is the most considerable monument at Valley Forge.
Commemorating the "patience and fidelity" of the soldiers who wintered here in 1777,
there is no more fitting memorial to our fallen heroes throughout the state of Pennsylvania
(save the Pennsylvania Monument at Gettysburg). "

A visit to the Valley Forge National Park in the early evening.
