It's been a (very ;-) long time since I went to school but I do remember that geometry is the mathematics of shape and space. |
you're right - mathematics exists all around us. in fact, everything around us are designed with mathematical calculations. but we never see them and think of maths (or geometry) because they are not given mathematical names. they say they phi is everywhere |

I am a little confused after reading your answer. I understand you were thinking the straws are related to geometry, when you took this picture?
So, did you also think "4+2+4", is related to geometry? Could it be some old theorem about straws's sum, we have forgotten? Maybe "the IreneM's theorem"? :-)
You are a good photographer, no doubt. Congratulations, Irene

wow Irene another one to add to my fav's,
the title might not be understood or the right choice but after all you can have a picture of anything a start dissecting it with mathematics back to its origin, I also have to say your a great inspiration and one of the reason's i like photography keep up the great work |

| actually the link to geometry is not obvious, a different title would have helped- I was kind of wondering about the topicality of this myself before i saw your post. But super picture as always. |

just as I'm thinking I might play again, I see this place second to apples with numbers on them. And then I realize...
I can't help but wonder if you fit a horse into the magic kitchen.

The title could've been "500 - 10 = 490". I think you have enough ribbons for the rest of your life, too (never enough). It's gotta be the camera. Where are the water droplets!
You'r the Best in category. |

Of course this portrays mathematics.
If nothing else, think geometry!
500 straws. Oh, dear. More material
for Irene's imagination. Oh dear...

Irene Fun Fact #3: Ribbon Hogtress
With this ribbon she has now won a staggering 30 ribbons! What is more frightening is she may be drowning in her own ribbons since she apparently can't get to her the computer to check that she has won 7 ribbons when scoring 6.7 or less. Ribbon hogtress extraordinaire, only has one weakness and that is she thinks she never has a chance. That's probably not a weakness but that's the best I could find. :P

Irene, congrats. You are on quite the roll with ribbons lately, and in my humble opinion ... they are absolutely well deserved. Congrats, big time. Your eye (for the unusual and simple beauty) is unmatched.
Love it, really do. And ... if you can take shots like this who needs to be a killer with the title? You are very good at letting the photo speak for itself. |

Irene strikes again! You're amazing :D Just had to say that sometime. This top3 was the straw that broke the camels back.
Also had a hunch this was yours hehe.
Finding beauty in the simple things. Also something I enjoy finding. I appreciate your unqiue point of view.

| You're title isn't very creative, IMO, but your shot is tremendous. It took me a bit to figure out they were bendy straws. It almost looks like some sort of energy reactor. Awesome lighting and super sharp. Great abstract. Could this be IreneM? |
