Things get be a little complicated in city life.
The new Unreality.
Doing a bit of sliding in these times.
Vacation or travel is still a bit difficult for us, though slowly it seems that we can go on a small holiday in the Netherlands soon. The sliding is an idea the style of mr. Escher gave me. And yes, I ave copied a bit of his style here in photography. I don't think it's a sin. The original picture was taken in Rotterdam , from above the entrance to the trainstation Blaak . It was a rather sunny day . Without the sliding that station already looks complicated, but when one slides here, we get a real wow effect in my opinion.
There is a lady going up on the escalator, and there is one person standing in front of the kiosk. They are reflected three times, while the stairs and the red handrails are giving this processed photo it's magical mathematical style. Going up and down at the same time.
The Andrew Wiles Building was formally opened on 3rd October 2013.
The building brought together the department's members from three buildings and, as importantly, is a venue where we can welcome our collaborators, our friends and the researchers of the future to share the beauty and power of mathematics
If you've visited Amsterdam you must have seen the Magere Brug, the Skinny Bridge, which spans the Amstel River at Carré Theatre. No doubt during the day you've admired its strict, parallelled and even white forms.
But for the Amsterdam Light Festival 2020 and 2021 artist Krijn de Koning (1963-) decided to use LED lights to create a 'chaotic' night view. It breaks up the strict, mathematical lines of the day-view bridge. Fascinating, even in the light drizzle so from the Blauwbrug Sammy took a shot to share with you.
The Penrose Paving is constructed from just two different diamond-shaped granite tiles, each adorned identically with stainless steel circular arcs. There are various ways of covering the infinite plane with them, matching the arcs. But every such pattern is non-repetitive and contains infinitely many exact copies of what you see before you.

The Mathematical Bridge, also known as Newton's bridge, Queen's College Cambridge UK. It looks like an arch but is made of straight timbers.
Thank You Deep Dream Generator. Yes I was a math nerd back in the days. I hope I don't bore you with this series.

The bridge was designed by William Etheridge, and built by James Essex in 1749. It has been rebuilt on two occasions, in 1866 and in 1905, but has kept the same overall design. Although it appears to be an arch, it is composed entirely of straight timbers[4] built to an unusually sophisticated engineering design, hence the name.

"Mathematics has beauty and romance. It's not a boring place to be, the mathematical world. It's an extraordinary place; it's worth spending time there." Marcus du Sautoy (Professor of Mathematics)

The Mathematical Bridge is the popular name of a wooden footbridge in the southwest of central Cambridge. It bridges the River Cam and joins two parts of Queens' College.

The bridge was designed in 1748 by William Etheridge (1709–76), and was built in 1749 by James Essex the Younger (1722–84). It has subsequently been repaired in 1866 and rebuilt to the same design in 1905.
The myth that the bridge was originally built without fastenings at the joints, but could not be rebuilt successfully without introducing fastenings at the joints, might owe its origin to a change in the nature of the fastenings during the 1905 rebuilding.
Although it appears to be an arch, it is composed entirely of straight timbers built to an unusually sophisticated engineering design, hence the name. A replica of the bridge was built in 1923 near the Iffley Lock in Oxford.
The quintessential English summer afternoon punting on the Cam…
All you need, really, is some tea served in a porcelain cup accompanying a jam-filled scone to complete the picture.
The punts (flat-bottomed boats that are poled along by intrepid punters) only really work in slow-moving water that’s no deeper than the pole. This is the Cam river in Cambridge which is deep and slow here as it ambles across a plain only a few feet above sea level.
On a fine afternoon, it’s fun to watch the stories unfold as the boats, often hired by hapless tourists, wander in every direction but the one intended. Some of the punts are professionally propelled tours for tourists. The rest are crewed by amateurs or students. Chaos ensues.
Almost as funny, though, are the embroidered stories the tour guides regale to their bemused passengers who are often foreigners on day trips from London. I remember hearing one anecdote, delivered totally deadpan, recounting tourist fatalities at the beaks of the local bellicose swans… (It is, of course, the piranhas that the tourists need to be wary of - that's why the punters use metal poles, so that they are never stranded up a creek without a pole :) ).
This is an image taken last year (though processed today for Smile on Saturday) of the Mathematical Bridge which joins two parts of Queen’s College. It was originally built in 1749 and is of a very elegant, technical, engineering design. The bridge is made from solely straight timbers that are arranged so that, in use, no element has lateral forces applied to it. The bridge has its own Wikipedia entry.
I love the way there are stories in this picture - the oblivious tour boat in front with the guide in full orator mode, the punt hirer who appears to be trying to punt along the wall on the right to the alarm of his passengers, and the canoeist desperately trying to plot a safe course through the chaos… and the rest of passengers just letting the world drift idly by…
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Smile on Saturday :)
I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, shots from my cellphone and digital AI artwork fulfill that purpose, at least for the time being.
If in doubt which is my work and which is Generative AI, just look for the watermark on my photography.

The Mathematical Bridge is the popular name of a wooden bridge across the River Cam, between two parts of Queens' College, Cambridge. Its official name is simply the Wooden Bridge.
The bridge was designed by William Etheridge, and built by James Essex in 1749. It has been rebuilt on two occasions, in 1866 and in 1905, but has kept the same overall design.
The original "mathematical bridge" was another bridge of the same design, also designed by James Essex, crossing the Cam between Trinity and Trinity Hall, where Garret Hostel bridge now stands.
A oft shot image of the Mathematical Bridge in Cambridge. Nothing original here, but why not, like thousands of other photographers!
In Mathematics, if two lines are PARALLEL, they do not meet each other, or do NOT TOUCH each other.
If we defined "ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP" as "touching someone's heart," then there wasn't such a relationship when a couple's hearts were not touching. So, can we say "the relationship is parallel?"
If it is so, this image represents a COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP with THREE people.
Sited next to Queens College, this wooden bridge over the River Cam was originally built in 1749, and was rebuilt in 1905 to the same design. It is an example of a voussoir arch bridge.

According to Wikipedia:
"Popular fable is that the bridge was designed and built by Sir Isaac Newton without the use of nuts or bolts, and at some point in the past students or fellows attempted to take the bridge apart and put it back together" (and had to use bolts).
However, "this story is false: the bridge was built of oak in 1749 by James Essex the Younger (1722–1784) to the design of the master carpenter William Etheridge (1709–1776), 22 years after Newton died."
The riverside building to the right dates to around 1460.

The riverside building on the right centre dates to around 1460, and is the oldest building in Cambridge by the River Cam.
