Geometry - In the skyline

Lots of geometrical shapes in this shot across the tops of buildings in downtown Frederick.

Geometry - Famous octagon

A common geometrical shape, usually red, but this one seems to have been forgotten. It is also mostly hidden by a bush.

Geometry - Photoshopped lines & arcs

Marianne took some shots of the Delaware Memorial Bridge last summer as we drove north on I-95. With just a gray bridge and gray sky, I did a little work with PhotoShop to add interest to this image. Applying glowing edges created the black and white image. And replacing color added some flair to the lines and curves of the bridge.

Geometry - on a bridge

There are many geometrical shapes on this iron and wood footbridge over Carroll Creek in Frederick: spheres, cylinders, swirls, lines, arcs, etc. This is the bridge I posted Friday for Reflections.

Geometry - circles and radii

I spotted these colorful circles and radii on an old tractor and manure spreader.

Garden geometry

While in South Carolina I stopped for a brief visit to the Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Garden. The zoo and gardens are along the banks of the Saluda River just outside the city of Columbia. The place is just full of geometrical shapes. The Walled Garden features a variety of plants, trees and shrubs arranged with walkways separating the beds. See My World Tuesday for more images of this colorful garden.

Parallel lines and angles

Right angles

Geometry - sphere

Geometric shapes are everywhere. This one is one a post in our to provide light at night.

Geometry - Familiar shape

This week, I bring you the well-known octagon - almost hidden behind the snow on February 9.

Geometry - Parallel lines and white plane

This shot of parallel lines on a white plane (slightly uneven) was take February 7 after two days of snow. Did you see the Google's header Sunday with geometric shapes and formulas spelling "Google"?

Geometry - Cylinder and I-beams

Here is a cylinder that supports a pedestrian bridge over Carroll Creek in Frederick. To see the topside of the cylinder look here.

Geometry - Arches, shape of strength

Arches have been used for centuries to build structures that supported heavy loads. Here are two examples. Above is a pedestrian bridge over Carroll Creek in downtown Frederick built about 5 years ago. Below is the Legore Bridge over the Monocacy River in the northern part of the county. James Legore built the bridge in 1900 to speed deliveries of stone from his quarry to customers in Pennsylvania. To see more geometry, go to Katney's Kaboodle.

Geometry - Lines, curves and circles

Some basic geometry used by architects to design beautiful buildings. This is a view of the Frederick library from Carroll Creek Linear Park.

Geometry - Frozen curves

Snow swirls on the frozen Carroll Creek. To see more geometry, go to Katney's Kaboodle.
