This is my contribution to the Cosmic Photo Challenge: Symmetrical.
A small selection of almost symmetrical photos.
The entrance to St Mary’s Church, Nantwich, Cheshire, England. Surprisingly symmetrical given that construction was interrupted for 20 years due to the Black Death.
Two American White Pelicans gliding in symmetrical formation, Little Quill Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Symmetrical drinking glass detail apart from the colour of the lights used, blue daylight and yellow artificial light.
Almost symmetrical wing markings on a Magpie Moth. Hatherton, Cheshire, England.
Almost symmetrical juvenile Great Tits begging for food having just heard an adult land at the nestbox entrance hole. Faddiley, Cheshire, England.
Sort of symmetrical bare trees photographed on a walk around the neighborhood, South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario, Canada.

These are all great, but that shot of the two pelicans is superb.
Thanks Dale. The young Great Tits in the nestbox always surprised me with the symmetry of the birds. I spent all week looking at that photo on the contents page of the Radio Times and only realised it was one of mine when I checked it against others on file when I was putting it out for recycling.
Hahaha, that’s a nice realisation to have
It had been flipped left for right by the wood grain but given the symmetry of the birds I still should have recognised it.
These all are indeed marvelous, David. But I have to agree with Dale that the two White Pelicans shot is incredible!!
Thanks Hannah. It was an obvious choice for symmetry. Especially when you consider the randomness of typical bird flight.
Exactly! I’m amazed that you were even able to observe the two pelicans so perfectly aligned, let alone that you were able to capture it. Superbly done, David!!
The baby birds made me smile. I have a picture of a flower that looks surprisingly like this.
Another comment I didn’t receive a notification about. I’m still surprised over 30 years later about how symmetrical the young Great Tits are.
