You’re always educational Andrew. I had to look up Fibonacci’s snail … only to discover I’ve looked it up numerous times …. but it’s math, and regardless of how many times I read about the Fibonacci sequence, my eyes glaze over at the implications.
So thanks , …. until the next time someone refers to the Fibonacci sequence and I have to look it up for the F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2} time!
Thanks Andrew … that was really interesting and I discovered that the grid on my camera wasn’t an equal 3rds but the 1:1.6 ratio. I had never noticed that before. Much appreciated 🙂
I wonder how many people who use this play area or pass by have any idea of its appearance from above. The designer created a work of art but most likely few can appreciate it. Well noticed, Andrew.
The idea that appearances can change depending on the angle of view reminded me of this. Maybe you have seen it but in case you have not:
I take things like your image and the video of the junk pile as inspiration in looking for new angles rather than sticking with the first viewpoint.
Well this is right below our balcony Steve so its easy to see. But HK has lots of elevated walkways that give interesting perspectives. It has modest heritage that it seems content to neglect or destroy but it also has a lot of impressive architecture and good design. I think a photographer looks at things a little differently because we are looking for a different interpretation of the everyday. Although I miss the wildlife photography at present the urban subjects are giving me opportunities to see shapes and shadows, lines and light that hopefully hone the composition skills.
You have not plumbed the depths of my “devious” Gerard. 🙂
Is that a threat or a promise?
Assuming the ifrst square held one grain of rice, there would not be enough rice in the world at the last square if following Fibonacci law. I just worked this out.
All downhill from here 
Sicuramente visto da sopra è più bello, non credo ci si accorga veramente di com’è fatta, se ci si cammnina.
Saluti, Patrizia
A good workout design for who/whom ever likes to walk/play. It looks like a maze to me. We should have some of those “walk-arounds” over here.
I don’t know about the math part. I’ve always hated math but the simplest kind.
Yep, a nice perspective from your advantage point.
Brilliant! Is the above view obvious to the below viewers?
Probably not Marissa and most of the people using it are small children. Maybe later in life.
Huh, nothing to do with numbers is child’s play. At least, not for this child.
That’s why god invented calculators, Jenny. Or was it the slide rule?
Abacus.
Designers often start with the plan view – and ‘worry’ over it – yet it is rarely seen. Good perspective Andrew.

It is also used in photography for composition, Joanne.

So there is a silver gilt lining to the present cloud, Andrew. Good for you, making the best of the situation.
PS the video is instructive and the work very clever.
Glad you enjoyed it, Andrew.
Amazing Steve.
Gerard, I just checked your computation, and I reckon you’re out by one grain of rice, which I hold in my pantry. 🙂
I knew you to be devious. But this takes the cake. 😉

Bloody marvellous ! – is it really instructional, or just a place for kids to jump about ?
Its just a play area, M-R.
OK … it LOOKS instructional. 😉
