Read all about the fascinating design/history of this bridge, first built in 1749...here:

The riverside building on the right centre dates to around 1460, and is the oldest building in Cambridge by the River Cam.
Inside the Mathematics Institute at Oxford. We were privileged to be given a tour of this extraordinary building. Very Escher like in it's communications corridors - except they all go somewhere! Full of light which is channelled to the different floors via glass crystal shaped structures which give fabulous reflections. It is an amazing structure. What a place for some of the best brains to flourish!!!
Instead of the main road, you can use a ginnel to get to Williamson Park that retraces the route used by the quarry workers in the 19th century. Unexpectedly I saw the back of the Ashton Memorial.
The Ashton Memorial is, by chance, close to the mathematical center of Great Britain, if you exclude the Isle of Man. To paraphrase a favorite actor, "not a lot of people know that."
To build is to elevate the mentality of self and others around the self to add positive energy to Allah's nation. To destroy is to ruin by allowing negativity to outweigh the positive.
details and landmarks at ahchoo-e!.
Humpback whales are identified by the markings on their flukes ... or, what most people call the tail. This one clearly has a "P" and an "i" on its left fluke. The "i" even has a dot over it! So, this one is Pi ... or 3.14, if you like. :-) Or, as in the movie, Life of Pi, maybe it's short for Piscine and it's identifying with it's fishy cousins. Or, since it's most likely chasing after those tiny fish, capelin, here, maybe it's advertising that it's a Piscine eater ... or, Pi eater. :-) Sorry. :-) Or, maybe it's just telling us it went to 'school'. Ok. I'll stop now.
There were two of these whales here, but I wasn't quick enough to photograph the tail of the second one. They were spotted from the Apollo, the Newfoundland-Labrador ferry which runs from St. Barbe in Newfoundland to Blanc Sablon, Quebec. We were almost in the harbor of Blanc Sablon when they were spotted and, by the time I got outside on the deck to shoot them, they were quickly disappearing beneath the surface.
This is definitely not as good as some of the whale photos I have here on Flickr, but I decided to upload it because it might be of interest to anyone who studies whales.
As a high school geek, I always had a true love for mathematics. The only subject that came naturally. Very good memories.
Love & Mathematics
Some speak of a spark
Which ignites in the dark
When two people solve
The equation of love
But as the lights went on
Cover of darkness gone
I saw your true face
Reflected in my gaze
Fuzzy logic was applied
Our body language lied
Do I mind that nose?
Do you hate my clothes?
The laws of attraction
Do not care for perfection
As I entered your space
I thanked god the beer is so cheap in this place

QuerÃa probar a hacer algo de abstracción, este es mi primer intento y sólo podÃa acercarme a la abstracción por medio de las matemáticas.
Chaos Theory, this is my first attempt to abstract art and the only way I can do it,is through Mathematics.

Wooden bridge over the River Cam at Queens' College, Cambridge. Designed by William Etheridge in 1749 and made entirely of straight timber. The popular myth that it was designed by Sir Isaac Newton is untrue (he died 20 years before it was built!)
The River Cam,
Cambridge, UK
The "Mathematical Bridge" is a wooden footbridge over the River Cam, that connects the two parts of the Queen's College in Cambridge. It appears to be arched but is made entirely of straight timbers (tangent and radial trussing). It was built in 1749 and was repaired and rebuilt in 1866 and 1905.
When i first saw this model two years ago at the C.D.O. convention I immediately fell in love with it, both for the mathematically and armonious aspects.When yesterday I found under my hands the cp for this I had to try it right away.Unfortunately I had only 35x35 cm EH, so I couldn't achieve the little,central pleats (some good,big sheets of elephant hide are almost on their way, so in less than two weeks I'll be able to get the completed model ;) ).I scored the paper using a specific scoring tool, the printed cp, a lightbulb and my "glass table".

Couple years ago I like made fractal images. I using variable free programs. Programs are gone but images is still in my computer.

One of the more famous crossings across the Cam, I'm not that big a fan of the Mathematical Bridge at Queens' College, but it did look nice in the fog here.
One thing I will add for those who haven't crossed it - it's steeper than it looks :)
