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.
A classic Cambridge scene, the sun went behind a cloud just as I pushed the shutter button here.

De Zalmhaven, also referred to as Zalmhaven Toren, is a project that includes a 215m residential tower in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Other parts of the project are two buildings of 70m each. The project was approved by the city in February 2010.
The 215m high residential tower houses 295 apartments and a parking garage. The tower and a second office building are designed by Dam & Partner architects, with Claus en Kaan Architecten designing a residential unit it is one of the tallest residential towers in Europe and the tallest building in the Netherlands.
In September 2016, the Rotterdam city council approved the plan. After fifteen years of preparation, construction started on 25 October 2018. With Zalmhaven I, the Zalmhaven has a height of 215 meters. The building itself is 203 m and the mast takes up the last 12 m.
On December 15, 2020, the construction of Zalmhaven II and III reached the highest point. Zalmhaven I reached its highest point in September 2021 and the entire project is completed in 2022.
De Zalmhaven contains 452 apartments and penthouses, 33 townhouses, a parking garage, offices, commercial spaces and a restaurant. The townhouses have a private roof terrace and the apartments and penthouses all have one or more outdoor spaces. The basement accommodates a five-story parking garage with 456 spaces. An inner garden will be realized in the lobby. A roof garden will be realised on the parking garage that is only accessible to the residents of De Zalmhaven. The apartments and penthouses in De Zalmhaven II and III have their own entrance at Gedempte Zalmhaven, but residents also use the facilities in De Zalmhaven I.
The alpha and the omega. Physicists have been working to develop the "holy grail" therory that mathematically explains the behavior of the universe from the very small - quantum level particles, to the massively large - galaxies, black holes and dark matter. String theory has moved the thinking beyond just the newtonian (large) and quantum (small) prior successes but there are still large gaps in their understanding and mathematical underpinnings have been elusive. Submittal for the October 19, 2020 Macro Monday’s theme of “String”.
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.
Happy Macro Monday to all flickr friends, HMM

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.

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.
Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14 in the month/day format) since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant digits of π.
It was founded in 1988 by Larry Shaw, an employee of the Exploratorium. Celebrations often involve eating pie or holding pi recitation competitions. In 2009, the United States House of Representatives supported the designation of Pi Day. UNESCO's 40th General Conference designated Pi Day as the International Day of Mathematics in November 2019.
The number π is a mathematical constant. It is defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, and it also has various equivalent definitions. It appears in many formulas in all areas of mathematics and physics and the earliest known use of the Greek letter π to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter was by Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706. It is approximately equal to 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th century, and is spelled out as "pi". It is also referred to as Archimedes' constant
Being an irrational number, π cannot be expressed as a common fraction, although fractions such as 22/7 are commonly used to approximate it. Equivalently, its decimal representation never ends and never settles into a permanently repeating pattern. Its decimal (or other base) digits appear to be randomly distributed, and are conjectured to satisfy a specific kind of statistical randomness.
It is known that π is a transcendental number: it is not the root of any polynomial with rational coefficients. The transcendence of π implies that it is impossible to solve the ancient challenge of squaring the circle with a compass and straightedge.
Ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians and Babylonians, required fairly accurate approximations of π for practical computations. Around 250 BC, the Greek mathematician Archimedes created an algorithm to approximate π with arbitrary accuracy. In the 5th century AD, Chinese mathematics approximated π to seven digits, while Indian mathematics made a five-digit approximation, both using geometrical techniques. The first exact formula for π, based on infinite series, was discovered a millennium later, when in the 14th century the Madhava–Leibniz series was discovered in Indian mathematics.

Il 14 marzo (o 3,14) è il giorno del Pi greco: una festa per chi ama la matematica
Il simbolo che conosciamo fu usato per la prima volta circa 250 anni fa, dal matematico gallese William Jones nel trattato A New Introduction to Mathematics (1706). π è l'iniziale dei termini greci περιφέρεια, "periferia", e περίμετρος, "perimetro", con riferimento alla circonferenza; ma anche del filosofo e matematico Pitagora. Prima di allora per riferirsi alla costante si ricorreva a complesse perifrasi come: "la quantità che quando si moltiplica per il diametro, dà la circonferenza".
IL CALCOLO DEI SUOI DECIMALI HA FATTO IMPAZZIRE INTERE GENERAZIONI. π è irrazionale, cioè non esprimibile come una frazione di due numeri interi: le 100 cifre riportate qui sopra sono insomma uno sforzo contenuto, rispetto a un numero che procede in apparenza all'infinito. Il record attuale di decimali verificati è di 22.459.157.718.361, frutto del lavoro di un centinaio di giorni di un supercomputer svizzero.
Another abstract image found on a dumpster. I saw this one as spelling out TI, the seventh note of a musical scale, as in do-ra-me-fa-so-la-TI-do. Perhaps you see something else, such as the symbol for the mathematical constant PI, as in 3.141592653589793238462643

Infinity Bridge, Stockton on Tees, UK.
The reflection combined with the bridge itself forms the mathematical symbol 'Infinity' hence its name.

Is mathematics the language of the universe?
I find it neat that many plants (haha, but not all!) follow a mathematical rule called the "Golden Ratio" when they grow. Using this ratio (and a numbering sequence attributed to Fibonacci but known in India for hundreds of years before), each petal is able to get the maximum amount of sunlight it possibly can. Next time you see a sunflower, take a close look - its growth pattern can be described using mathematics!

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.

So we learn how to take photos with a dslr, changing lens, focus, light, ISO, aperture and various other settings with millions of combinations of possible settings. We teach ourselves the theory and learn the techniques and then, along comes a mobile phone with a minute camera in it.
Having been someone who fought hard to understand the theory and complex three dimensional mathematics of navigation by the sun and stars, only for satnav to make all that learning and training totally redundant.... a waste of time, I'm beginning to sense that within a few years the craft of photography may be rapidly disappearing as all pictures are captured by mobile phone. The only people who will use a dslr will be those fools who do it the hard way just for old time's sake. But what's the point? Camera craft will die out as surely as the skill of using a sextant.
