The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after. Robust, ordered growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in nature’s elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which all their vital sustenance and they themselves had been created—the golden ratio.

 

Ansel Adams is not only my favorite photographer, but he is one of the greatest photographers and artists of all time. And just like great artists including Michelangelo, Monet, Degas, Renoir, Leonardo da Vinci, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Botticelli, and Picasso, Ansel used the golden ratio and divine proportions in his epic art.

Not so long ago I discovered golden regions in many of his famous public domain his 8x10 aspect ratio photographs. I call these golden harmony regions "regions of golden action" or "ROGA"S, as seen here:

In Austria there are at present about 16,000 sheep farmers with a stock of approximately 325,000 sheep, i.e. about 21 sheep per farmer. This small-scale, easy to manage farming structure makes ecological and natural ways of animal husbandry a logical choice. Natural breeding methods mean, among other things, that the lambs are brought up on milk, tasty grasses, fresh hay and cereals. In Austria sheep farming is predominantly alpine, which means that the sheep spend the whole summer on alpine meadows and grazing land. Only a small proportion of the sheep and lambs are kept in enclosures.

Day 30 (v 16.0) - nuh

Built sometime in the 1930s, but it's surprisingly hard to actually find the exact year or architect (I'll need to spend more time digging around). It's often been called Art Deco, but you can see the influences of Beaux Arts present as well. Early Canadian Art Deco took a lot of inspiration from Beaux Arts for proportion and materials, while in the US, Art Deco took more influence from Neo-Gothic architecture.

The pattern of seeds within a sunflower follows the Fibonacci sequence, or 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144...

 

The individual seeds create spiral arms, curving to the right and the left. The number of spirals to the left, is however not equal to those spiraling to the right. The spiral arms to the left and to the right are always two successive numbers of the Fibonacci sequence.

 

This is when I wish I'd paid more attention to my maths lessons at school!

New virus variant - I needed a better mask.

 

The new SARS-CoV-2 variant is growing rapidly, is more transmissible than other variants, and affecting a greater proportion of under 20s.

 

The new variant has a transmission advantage of 0.4 to 0.7 in reproduction number compared to the previously observed strain.

 

The findings come in a pre-print authored by a collaborative team from Imperial College London, University of Edinburgh, Public Health England (PHE), the Wellcome Sanger Institute, the University of Birmingham and the COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium.

 

Britain’s health secretary says every adult in the country will be offered a COVID-19 vaccine by the autumn as the U.K. ramps up its mass vaccination program amid a huge surge of infections and hospital admissions.

I just feel something is weird, but I'm not sure what it is. The proportion?

  

------------------------

looking at the thumbnail, I found that the sculpture is sooooo bland...it lacks the unique qurikiness which my style should be. looks like anyone could make this.

The famous Fibonacci sequence and Golden Ratio has captivated mathematicians, artists, designers, and scientists for centuries.

 

The golden ratio ("phi") is approximately equal to 1.618 and exists when a line is divided into two parts and the longer part (a) divided by the smaller part (b) is equal to the sum of (a) + (b) divided by (a), which both equal 1.618. I know that sounds nerdy but it is amazing how often it occurs in nature.

 

The spiralling patterns seen in seeds in a sunflower head, spirals in sea shells, winds in a hurricane, and the human face can all follow this pattern. In a so called ‘perfect smile’, the visible surfaces of teeth will follow the Golden Proportion and the real nerds in the Dental profession may even have a set of calipers which reproduce the ratio 1.618.

 

The Fibonacci sequence can also be seen in the way tree branches form or split. A main trunk will grow until it produces a branch, which creates two growth points. Then, one of the new stems branches into two, while the other one lies dormant. This pattern of branching is repeated for each of the new stems. This sand pattern reminds me of that.

 

I write this at 12.58, unable to get to sleep. How the hell this stuff doesn’t put you to sleep is beyond me!

From the golden spiral in the whirlpool galaxy and our very own milkway galaxy, to the golden mean of an athletic models' proportions, to the divine proportions found in a beautiful models' face, to the optimum curves and compositions of my fine art photography, I have found the Fibonacci sequence and golden number Phi to be omni-present. And so it makes sense that I found the golden spiral to naturally emerge in my physics theory--Dynamic Dimensions Theory--which postulates that the fourth dimension is expanding at the rate of c relative to the three spatial dimensions, giving rise to relativity, the quantum, and time and all its arrows and asymmetries. Yes! I have a pPh.D. in physics! Photons of ligth are but matter which surfs the fourth expanding dimension en route to creating a beautiful photograph.

 

And yes I am working on a book combining my philosophies on Phi, fine art photography, physics, the golden mean and number, the divine proportion, and the natgural emergence of the Fibonacci numbers in life and beauty. The book, filled with my photography aongside classic poetry, epic physics, and philosophy, will be called The Golden Hero's Odyssey. :)

I am totally obsessed with how vehicles look, regardless of their purpose. For me the current generation Manitou telehandlers are not only beautifully proportioned, but are a feast of asymmetrical industrial design. Which unusual vehicles float your boat?

 

I wanted to photograph this with a brick-built fork lift attachment too, but here in the UK the postal service is stretched past capacity, so some key parts were delayed. So I can only show you the moveable arm with a rather nice single piece LEGO bucket.

Thanks to all who comment or favorite; it is always appreciated!

 

This photo was taken in Charleston, SC, and shows a window beautifully framed by lush ivy. Charleston is known for its well-preserved historic architecture, which reflects its rich history and cultural heritage. The buildings in Charleston often exhibit elements of Georgian, Federal, and Greek Revival styles, with a strong emphasis on symmetry, proportion, and decorative details.

 

The ivy-clad window in the photo brings to mind the city's antebellum homes, which frequently feature large windows with shutters, brick facades, and abundant greenery. The ivy adds charm and is a natural cooling system during Charleston's hot summers.

 

Charleston's architectural legacy dates back to the colonial era, with many buildings surviving the Civil War and hurricanes. The city's commitment to preservation has maintained its historic charm, making it a popular destination for history enthusiasts and architecture lovers.

 

Thank you for viewing! If you like this photo, remember to favorite it and follow for more! Have you visited Charleston and its historic sites? Share your experiences in the comments below!

The out of service fleet is parked around the sides of the depot as seen here allowing space for the active fleet. Note 38206 had only just received this mega rear for CALA Homes prior to coming off fleet.

And as is apparent, it is a celebration of ecstatic proportion.
