Parallel Bars - Thematic Photography

The Paralympics start this week in London. The TV programmes are keen that we should know that the Paralympics are run in parallel with the Olympic Games.

The town of Saltburn on the north-east coast of England has had it own Olympics this year thanks to an anonymous 'yarn bomber' who has placed a knitted Olympic scarf and knitted Olympians on the railings of Saltburn Pier.

There are more parallel bars to be seen on the American flag.

This picture was taken through the windscreen of a moving car and it was only later that I realised the number of parallel wires it contained.

I believe I've posted a picture from the Tees Barrage International White Water Centre earlier this year. The updated site was opened by the Queen as part of her Diamond Jubilee Celebration and was used by canoeists training for the London 2012 Games.

As part of the upgrade four Archimedes screws were installed to return water from the end of the water course back up to the beginning.

Last summer I caught some swallows getting in on a high wire act beneath parallel high power lines. Perhaps they wanted extra energy for their migratory journey.

I always enjoy a game of golf especially when it gives me the chance to photograph wildlife.

Amongst the parallel trees, of course.

If you don't think I have done justice to Carmi's parallelism theme then we just might finish in Washington.
