Math Photo: Manhole Math Art
Ever since I noticed this pothole pentagon, I’ve been looking down a lot more.
The lovely mathematical designs on this this manhole cover immediately put me in mind of the labyrinths of Robert Bosch. And then later I realized this work resembled another piece from a Bridges artist: Tim Locke’s Starburst.
