While looking through my photos I realized that I often take pictures of things in rows. I’m sure there is some deep psychological reason for this. Perhaps it is because I have a need for order, or that symmetry is visually satisfying, or maybe rows of things just beg to be photographed. I don’t know. Anyway, here are some of my pictures of things all lined up.

Excellent pictures. You have a great eye for beautiful rows. I especially like the red tables in the not too perfect row, and the red benches, and the bubble gum, and the tights, and the trees. Just all of them.
What a wonderful collection. An eclectic mix if ever there was, and I love the water image with all the pole remnants and the birds. Was this part of a pier or similar?
Some more details would make the shots a bit more interesting – for me at any rate.
Those post remnants are from New York. I was told that they were the remains of the pier from which the Titanic sailed. I didn’t know that when I took the picture, though.
These are really great photos, somehow visually satisfying. However, I’m pretty sure the Titanic sailed form the other side of the Atlantic. Looked it up – from Southampton. Maybe it’s the pier it would have sailed to.
Whatever the source of your inspiration for these photos, i ADORE your collection of “things in rows”! I think my favorite may be the fishers’ carts, but they’re all wonderful.

Ha ha! Thanks, Bea.

Well, there’s a special piece of history right enough!
Barb tells me that the Titanic sailed from Southampton in England. (Forehead slap.) So maybe a New Yorker lied to me. I suppose that’s possible. 😉
I have now added some location information.

Oh! Or maybe i was lied to! 🙂

Thank you, Heide.
Perhaps it isn’t about the rows alone but the perspective and depth of field that appeals to your artistic mind.
Oh, now that sounds a lot smarter than just liking rows! Thanks, Dweezer19.
