Wasn't sure what to call them when a group of isosceles triangles got together? Shoal wasn't quite right, neither was a flock. So zoo it is. You never know, there may be some more endangered polygons lurking out there ....

This is one of the absolute highlights of the trip for me. I was just coming back from a short walk on one of the forest trails when I spotted this beauty on the track. Initially I thought it was a moth. Arjan was close behind me and I called him over. Sadly no one else on the trip saw it (they appear to be uncommon). Even though I am not thrilled with the setting (bird dropping) I am delighted to have the photo
Map of right angle triangles with different leg lengths that share the same hypotenuse, up to a hypotenuse length of 25. LEGO calls these "Pythagorean pairs". The map also includes a few Pythagorean triples (magenta squares), and indicates common wedge angles.
Fun fact: the angles you can achieve with these always line up exactly with a pythagorean triple.
This showed up in a guest article I wrote for BrickNerd on SHIP structure, angles and polygon construction. It can be used in all manner of places though.
I was in the area yesterday and the reflective surface of the ground with the tiny pool of water gave me ideas.

Now that's camouflage! If it hadn't flicked it's wings, I would have trodden on it!

The salt flats in Badwater Basin will often dry into intriguing polygonal shapes. Impurities such as mud will given different effects.

A vertical wall of geometric wall and window panels. A sort-of-monochrome (dark green and bluish grey in the window panels), sort-of-abstract subject.

For Macro Monday theme for 14 November 2016, "Mystery". My first post to the Macro Mondays group. Looks like fun! I will reveal the identity of this subject after a number of my contacts have time to respond.
Update. With expert help on iNaturalist, this appears to be a Lycoperdon, likely L. perlatum.

Death Valley's Bad Water, at -86 meters, is the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere. The salt polygons are about a 1-mile walk out onto the valley floor. They provide a compelling foreground for sunset, sunrise, and storm compositions.
Une montagne noire baptisée Duhamel, au sommet se trouve le SaarPolygon. Un monument étrange à la gloire des gueules noires Sarroise !
The volatile, non-spatial properties of warpspace allow for the natural formation and destruction of geometrically ideal windows of supercompressed energy located in realspace. A starship outfitted with a self-encompassing warp stabilizing system can temporarily form stable polygonal arrangements composed of a large number of these anomalies, forming a tunnel of realspace that rapidly decays behind the ship and any smaller vessels that can ride the tunnel alongside it.
Due to the color of Honalee, a typical spacy edit was impractical. I'd wanted to do something like this for a while now, anyway.
