Geometric shapes in nature

Geometric forms are those which correspond to named regular shapes, such as squares, rectangles and circles. I like the fact that not all naturally occurring objects are organic and it is the precision and regularity of forms within the natural world which I find particularly inspiring. Below are just a few of many examples.

Symmetry is usually defined as a sense of "balanced proportions" or "the quality of having parts that match each other," especially in an attractive way. And, when you think about it, it is all around us. Whether we look at human beings, architecture, art, or biology, there’s nothing more fascinating than seeing how the world is full of perfect forms and harmony.

Sacred Geometry of Plants “Today I'm here to tell you that it is 100% scientific and abundant in the world we live in, now and forever. It's right under our noses and in our homes. In our very houseplants and gardens.”

Here are 30 of the visually perfect examples of geometrical symmetry in nature. Symmetry in everyday language refers to a sense of harmonious and beautiful proportion and balance. In mathematics, "symmetry" has a more precise

I was curious, so I analyzed the geometry of the peacock's tail-feather display. Turns out the shape is a symmetrical phyllotaxis, which is somewhat surprising. Most phyllotaxis patterns in nature (like on pinecones, pineapples and sunflowers) have spirals of adjacent Fibonacci numbers (usually 5, 8, 13 or 21), but the peacock's feathers have the same count of spirals in both directions!

Nature truly is a wondrous place. Sometimes, you'll even find perfect shapes hidden in nature.

When I started to put this article together I knew two things were going to dominate the subject matter. Architecture and lighting / shadows. Properly photographed architecture is an art unto itself, doing so that showcases the unique aspects of a building, or portions of a building really takes your breath away. Same thing can be said about light and how shadows have a direct impact on it. Framing these photos it's hard to say if the photographers goal was to showcase geometric patterns as…
