Your idea about connecting geometry with physics AND art is just marvelous!<br />Once again I thank you for being a leader and showing us all that learning is a very rewarding journey!dgendehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02179741683558253638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732017449620233163.post-50817469373030040412010-04-28T18:53:24.470-05:002010-04-28T18:53:24.470-05:00I now do believe that after recreating the photo, ...I now do believe that after recreating the photo, my granite countertop seems to be the culprit. It has a sepia color so when light reflected off of it, it produced a gold and sepia coloring in the image. Location seems to be quite important.Cyrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08056136757508342679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732017449620233163.post-1843411610016789802010-04-28T17:20:03.996-05:002010-04-28T17:20:03.996-05:00I am not completely sure why the white light trans...I am not completely sure why the white light transformed into gold, but I am playing with a few speculations. My first is that white light may react differently than normal, yellow light. Perhaps it is the light bulb. My other option is that I had taken this photograph in my kitchen, with which there are many white lights. Any number of things could have happened, but I will be sure to keep working on this anomaly until I find an answer. Than you for this challenging question!Cyrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08056136757508342679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732017449620233163.post-41108910999871435272010-04-27T19:51:16.492-05:002010-04-27T19:51:16.492-05:00This is a truly fascinating picture.

That it was constructed from something as simple as a few Christmas ornaments demonstrates the ubiquity of math and physics in our lives. <br /><br />I found it surprising that all the ornaments were silver. In the photo, there are two prominent triangular reflections that are colored gold and sepia. I'm wondering what causes this coloration. Do you have any ideas?Brian Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07005159787332407378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732017449620233163.post-5867495544549893952010-04-27T19:33:48.792-05:002010-04-27T19:33:48.792-05:00Thank you Puja and J.

If you haven't seen the PBS special about them, you should search for it. <br /><br />I love to see pictures of fractals, especially ones like this with a great explanation behind it. You did an excellent job of describing the interaction of the light with the objects. <br /><br />Isn't it fun to see where math can be applied to the real world through physics?
