Repetition has a peculiar but generally strong appeal, particularly when it's unfamiliar to the viewer. The connection is with one of the basic pleasures in music, there is a visual beat to pictures containing a repetitive theme, just as there is a musical beat. Visually, repetition comes across in two ways, as rhythm and pattern. The difference between them is that rhythm is to do with movement across a picture while pattern is essentially static and has to with area. This image of the top of a church tower has a steady rhythm.
