Starry starry pumpkin

A fourth grade arts class interprets a pumpkin patch on a starry night with a crescent moon overhead:

 They are all so good!

 

 

Leaky rainbow

 

It is colorful, but it is not a rainbow

Passers-by were taken by surprise by the petroleum product drip "rainbow" that appeared in the parking lot beneath their feet.

 

Colorful cobbles

 

Rain drain

This scene in the street beneath our feet has an 8 x 3 rectangular opening storm drain grate and a 9 by 9 square diamond manhole cover with 23 "teeth".  The somewhat symmetric cracks and colorful cobbles add to the scene.

 

Other examples of that style of manhole cover can be seen here and here.   

 

 

Turn three

 

Roaring by

Close together and in a bunch, this pack of lawn tractors rounding turn three makes for an exciting afternoon of racing.

 

Marlbleous

pillars and balustrades

This set of stairs on the second floor is in the Second Empire style.  The scene is presented as a relaxed view 3d stereograph.

At a siding

 

Durable and yellow

This Budd car (BC-30) is parked at a siding.  In front of it, a long lasting yellow-painted Durable Bumping Post marks the end of the track.

n.b. the pre-bumper stop Budd car can be scened here. 

 

 

 

 

Security envelope polygons

Security envelope patterns come in different patterns.  Usually, they are small and tightly packed, covering the whole interior of the envelope to obfuscate the contents.  It was a pleasant surprise to receive this envelope security pattern of widely spaced polygons.

 

It's a tee shirt!

This blue polygon pattern has been mirrored left-right and  up-down.  The tiny diamond in the center is the lower-right, lower-left, upper-right, and upper-left corner, respectively, of the pattern after the horizontal and vertical flipping and tiling.

Some sketchy V and H flips and overlays give a rough draft view of a more complete polygon security pattern.

 

. . . flipped and overlaid . . .

 

This rough sketch demonstrates the result of enthusiastic polygon pattern and line matching.

 

adjusting lines to meet

 

It is possible to continue the process and create even denser patterns.
