You have a good chance of encountering bins of goods for sale when you’re traveling. They often make interesting subjects for a pocket camera photo. The photos are colorful, make interesting texture patterns, and provide something to ponder when you return home and have the time. There is more to see in the photos than you had time to contemplate on the spot.

Most often we think of a photograph as a picture of a thing, a subject. Texture patterns are photos that feature a repeating pattern, but no subject. I think texture patterns derive interest as a form of brain food. Our minds naturally want to figure out what is going on in the picture despite there being no focal point of attention. The exercise of figuring it out usually succeeds, but in the process we get to consume the whole scene.

The image fits our definition of a texture pattern, which is to say that it lacks a subject and has repetitive elements. The pattern usually fills the frame as this one does.
