A Year of Days - Day 315: Fibonacci's Spiral

On of the less well known 'rules' of composition is Fibonacci's Spiral - I was amused this afternoon to find the rotted remains of a tree stump that illustrated this... albeit slightly imperfectly - but only slightly!

[Rachel Withey]

Well seen - lovely in black and white

[Lisa Poland]

Fabulous find!

[Bill Fenske]

What? You couldn't bend it? :-)

[Richard Sayer]

@rachelwithey @homeschoolmom @bill_fe There you go - this is the one I should have posted from the get-go.

[Richard Sayer]

@bill_fe I didn't have to bend it Bill - nature had already done it for me... I just didn't post the right picture first time.

[Bill Fenske]

@vignouse Awesome!

[Joan Robillard]

I know of this but haven't been successful in using it. But a neat capture.

[Jane Pittenger]

How cool is that! I have it set as my cropping overlay

[Barbara Webb]

Oh, such a great find. Just watched a show on Fibronacci's spiral!

[Adi]

very cool

[Francoise]

funky

[Francoise]

makes me wonder what on earth inspired the tree to curl that way while growing.

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent as always, nicely spotted

[Debs Stott]

Fabulous find!

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

Wow, that really does look like Fibronacci's Spiral. You had commented on my August 21 posting of a sculpture depicting that spiral. I'm thinking of putting together a composite of that image turned in all four directions. Stay tuned....

[Margo Sayer]

Good spot, great shot!

[gloria jones]

Great textures, composition

[Morgane]

très rigolo!

[Gillian]

So well spotted! And so fabulous in b&w to show all that glorious texture.

[David]

It's the departure from perfection that makes life interesting, Richard! Wouldn't be any where nears as good with a perfect Fibonacci.

[Lynda]

Excellent capture for the theme.

[Barb Newcomb]

Well spotted - the B&W brings out the textures.

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

Good eye Richard! I like your b/w take on this! FAV!

[Danny G.]

Great find! I've never seen this spiral in nature.
