PATTERN




This week's photo challenge from Chania at Razmataz
is Pattern

Patterns in nature are overwhelmingly governed by a clever mathmatical equation called
The Golden Mean, or The Golden Ration or Divine Proportion.

Essentially this:


and it appears in the pattern of everthing from the nautilus shell,


to the segments of a grapefruit.


It's found in the patterns of design in Notre Dame,



the parthenon


and even in Da Vinci's Last Supper.



Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, Le Corbusier, the Swiss architect and designer is said to have adhered closely to this pattern when designing his furniture.





I know this is a photo-challenge, so to make it a legitimate entry the last photo is mine, taken in the kitchen of our house in Florida.
