What’s this pic-of-the-month all about, then?
The Geometry of Summer
Imagine an August midday in California. The sun is at its highest and shadows are harsh. The worst possible conditions for photography.
After walking all morning, you just want a place to rest in the cool shade for a while, but the only option is some black metal furniture baking in the direct sun, on which you could probably barbecue a steak.
However, as you approach the chair and table, you notice that the curves and circles of shadow seem to dance and whirl – teasing the lines and squares of pavement as if it were simply too hot and tired to do more than grumble at the indignity.
In a few weeks these spirals and curves will move their equations and formulae back to the school classrooms. But for now, you realize, this is the geometry of Summer.
