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.

At Queens' College, Cambridge.
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.
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.
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

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."
As a high school geek, I always had a true love for mathematics. The only subject that came naturally. Very good memories.

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.
The striking interior of the Mathematical Institute in Oxford, reflected off the roof of the crystal like cafeteria. The maze of wooden staircases was like something from Harry Potter.
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 :)

I took a Night Photography class sponsored by Desert Botanical Garden and taught by Ryan Parra - a photography professor at Mesa Community College and Arizona State University. I learned a lot and practiced a lot. I really feel that I had improved significantly by the end of the class. One big problem with classes like this is keeping other photographers out of the frame.
This HYBYCOZO sculpture is titled Pyrite Field. It greets visitors in the Ottosen Entry Garden. Any correction will be appreciated.

LIGHT BLOOM by HYBYCOZO is a limited-time exhibit where nature and light converge. This mesmerizing display invites you to explore the Garden transformed by stunning geometric light installations that illuminate the beauty of the desert landscape in a new way. As the sun sets, LIGHT BLOOM comes to life, casting intricate shadows and vibrant hues across the Garden. Wander the trails and let the enchanting installations transport you to a magical realm where the natural world meets the abstract.
HYBYCOZO is the collaborative studio of artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk. Based in Los Angeles, their work consists of larger than life geometric sculptures, often with pattern and texture that draw on inspirations from mathematics, science, and natural phenomena. Typically illuminated, the work celebrates the inherent beauty of form and pattern and represents their ongoing journey in exploring the myriad dimensions of geometry. HYBYCOZO is short for the Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone, a nod to their favorite novel (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and was the title of their first installation in 2014. They continue to create under this name. In the novel earth was being destroyed to make way for a bypass. It lead Serge and Yelena to ask what it means to make art at a time where the earth’s hospitable time in the universe may be limited.

Q: Walk us through your creative process?
A: The focus of our creative process is to explore the intricate interplay between geometry, light, space and to inspire contemplation, wonder and a sense of place among our audiences. Geometry and pattern-making serve as the backbone of our creative expression. It is the framework through which we navigate the complexities of form, proportion and spatial relationships. Patterns, both simple and complex, have a profound impact on our perception and understanding of the world. They possess the ability to evoke a sense of order, balance and aesthetic pleasure. Pattern making and geometry offer us a means of storytelling and communication. These patterns serve as conduits for deeper exploration, provoking introspection and contemplation to uncover the underlying symbols embedded within the human psyche.
Q: What inspired the concept of LIGHT BLOOM?
A: Just as many cactus and desert plants have evolved to produce night-blooming flowers, adapting to their environment and thriving in darkness, our sculptures come alive after sunset, blossoming with light and transforming the night into a glowing landscape of art and geometry.
Desert Botanical Garden has an incredible collection of plants and cacti arranged in a beautiful park setting.
"Think the desert is all dirt and tumbleweeds? Think again. Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from all around the world spread across 55 acres in Phoenix, Arizona."
