First snow of the year
First snow of the year here in Brockenhurst – even we didn’t get away with it this time (we quite often do). Taken with a fish-eye lens on the Canon 5D MkII at 8:00 a.m. this morning.

Mobius spacetime
Is our Universe a 4-dimensional Mobius Loop giving the appearance of an infinitely large structure? Mathematica produced 3-dimensional surface with x= (1+0.5 v * Cos(0.5u))*Cos(u) y=(1+0.5 v * Cos(0.5 u))*Sin(u) z=0.5 v * (Sin 0.5u)
