 I'm not sure what this is (or was); it's in the San Diego Wild Animal Park, so perhaps a "play area" for monkeys. The structure caught my eye, and I would have shot this even without this week's challenge. I like the variety of lines and textures.

I expect comments saying this is too busy, without a single point of focus. But I like it anyway. I tried a tight crop to add focus which would probably have gotten a higher score, but I didn't like it nearly as well. I realize the white parts are overexposed, but they don't have a lot of detail in real life, and I wanted to capture some details in the shadows.

Interesting architecture. Do you know what it is used for? This is a nice picture, but it is a little busy in terms of the subject.

That is a rather impressive structure in it own unique way. Nicely captured as well.

And somehow this apparently confusing lashup holds together whatever needs the support. I've seen some of this scaffolding and marvel at the ingenuity. Thanks for the good photograph.

Fits the challenge but not an overly interesting photo

Wow, is that natural? I like the colors and the soft flow of water.
