B-Side: The Three Rings of Symmetry


I passed by this the other day noticing somewhere in the empty corridors of my mind at how odd it was that the coins tossed into this fountain - undoubtedly from 3, 2, and 1 floors above it - seemed to be evenly dispersed from the center of the fountain outward, in all directions.  Just a passing thought in my mind.  But 15 minutes or so after I left the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art, it dawned on me that this could be a good photo if I could lean far enough over the 3rd floor balcony without falling off.  So, I returned today.

Taken with an iPhoto 5s, I learned that sometimes our subconscious sees the beauty before our conscious eye can.
