I was curious, so I analyzed the geometry of the peacock's tail-feather display. Turns out the shape is a symmetrical phyllotaxis, which is somewhat surprising. Most phyllotaxis patterns in nature (like on pinecones, pineapples and sunflowers) have spirals of adjacent Fibonacci numbers (usually 5, 8, 13 or 21), but the peacock's feathers have the same count of spirals in both directions!

Nature never ceases to amaze us… every day we come across something new that makes us appreciate the incredible design of this planet. Most of these 29 patterns are part of a group called “fractals.” You can find them across all sorts of natural phenomena, and you’ve probably held one in your hands before. They’re […]

Sacred Geometry of Plants “Today I'm here to tell you that it is 100% scientific and abundant in the world we live in, now and forever. It's right under our noses and in our homes. In our very houseplants and gardens.”

When I started to put this article together I knew two things were going to dominate the subject matter. Architecture and lighting / shadows. Properly photographed architecture is an art unto itself, doing so that showcases the unique aspects of a building, or portions of a building really takes your breath away. Same thing can be said about light and how shadows have a direct impact on it. Framing these photos it's hard to say if the photographers goal was to showcase geometric patterns as…

Here are 30 of the visually perfect examples of geometrical symmetry in nature. Symmetry in everyday language refers to a sense of harmonious and beautiful proportion and balance. In mathematics, "symmetry" has a more precise

A new book explores the physical and chemical reasons behind incredible visual structures in the living and non-living world

A fractal is defined as a "rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," according to their "discoverer" Benoit Mendelbrot (Nov. 20, 1924 – Oct. 14,...

Geometric forms are those which correspond to named regular shapes, such as squares, rectangles and circles. I like the fact that not all naturally occurring objects are organic and it is the precision and regularity of forms within the natural world which I find particularly inspiring. Below are just a few of many examples.

Recently I have been working a lot on fractal programming, here are a few examples (just click the images to view their respective articles)...
