This wooden bridge connects the two parts of Queens' college in Cambridge. This bridge was built in 1906, replacing an earlier bridge from 1749 (which had seen repairs in 1866). But the later version kept the original design (designed by William Etheridge and built by James Essex the Younger), using straight timber but at the same time creating the allusion of an arch.
The rather unusual design of the bridge has given it its current popular name of the Mathematical Bridge - but as Queens' college themselves point out on their website: "There is no such thing as an “official name” for the bridge. It has never been named." In the 18th century it was known as “Essex’s Bridge”, it was later also known as “Newton’s Bridge” because it was erroneously believed he had designed the it. The bridge was sometimes called the Mathematical Bridge from 1803 onwards - but there was also another Cambridge bridge known by that name. But the bridge is also known as the "Queens' bridge" - the above mentioned website calls it both the Mathematical and Queens' bridge.
If you are really in to bridges I must recommend the college web-page on the subject, it is extensive and very informative.
Things get be a little complicated in city life.

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.
Cervo is a small picturesque village on the Italian Riviera. It is compactly situated on a hillside and slopes down towards the Mediterranean Sea (for those who are concerned about the term "compact" in the context of a village: in mathematics, "compact" means closed and bounded). From the sea to the upper town wall, it is a few dozen metres uphill through narrow alleyways quite steeply, so that "higher semesters" may have to breathe heavily. The colour of the houses is a yellowish-orange ochre.

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.
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.

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.
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 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.

Not all a spirals are circular in shape and Turtle Spirals are an excepted mathematical shape, a type of square spiral. Look carefully and you can see the spiral take shape from the centre of the mat.
Wicker-made objects are popular tourist buys in many African countries. When we moved back to the U.K. from Kenya in 1990, we brought with us several mats that we had been using in our house there. That means that this mat is well over 41yrs old but still looks like it was bought last week!
Wicker is a very resilient, sturdy and pliable natural plant material and the most common source in Kenya is banana leaves but it can be made from many parts of plants.
The spiral pattern that is used to make them is very common!
If you want the circumference of a circle to be 4m the diameter must be 1,27m.

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.

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.
