pallalink takes urban architectural symmetry to new abstract extremes. Be sure to view the archives. [via lightningfield.com]

I get a big old white screen. Either this link is way beyond my comprehension for discussion of photosymmetry, or the power of MeFi is much greater than I ever thought.

Hmm, I've tried three times now, still nothing (Win 98, IE 5.5).

*cries*

Ufez: I am not sure why it doesn't work for you. I just tried it, it loaded fine. Try this seamless image and see if that works.

That looks like enough photos for about 400 years' worth of Pink Floyd albums.

The seamless link worked, but clicking back to the homepage again brought up nothing. But it works fine in Mozilla (after my lazy ass finally fired it up).

Now I can say it: These are some right beautiful images. I've definitely exceeded my quota for comments for a thread now though, and I shall kindly exit, stage right.

Thanks, I needed a new desktop background. Bruegel's Tower of Babel was getting old.

Could this be related to the language pack installation?

My god, these are incredibly beautiful. Using everyday industrial scenes to create mind-boggling mandalas is a rich idea. Perfectly executed, too. Thanks for this one, riffola.

My favorite images come from the November archive -- a few collage and perspective studies. Thanks, riffola.

Nice images. Kind of reminiscent of Paul Savage's photographs, (the Chemikal Underground co-founder and drummer for the Delgados). Also symmetrical stadium, mausoleum and crowd photographer.
