I was flat-out excited that this week’s photo challenge theme is geometry. I love geometry aesthetically, although I must admit that college geometry (which consisted of writing proofs for all the foundational geometric theorems that you get as “givens” in high school geometry) was the one upper-level math class I dropped. Anyway, I selected a handful of my favorite geometry-inspired photos that haven’t been posted elsewhere.

Every time I make a photo with lines leading out to the horizon, I think about the point at infinity where parallel lines cross, and smile contentedly. I love angles, lines, and symmetry. Love them. I hope it shows.

Cones and a sphere. In case you get bored.
Oversize volumes at the Seattle Public Library (main branch), Seattle, WA.
Materials for hacking together a camera obscura. It didn’t work very well.
I hate my neighbor’s cats. Damn things predate on birds.
Entryway to the Chinese gardens at the Jardin Botanique, Montréal, QC.
Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO. The white speckles are snowflakes. It was damn cold.
Lake Durant State Park bear-free zone.
