I was in Clarkston this weekend, doing this thing, when I noticed something really cool about the huuj, ginormous bluffs that tower over the city.



Sierpinski triangles! Roughly. It doesn't come through on the image as well as I'd like. (It's a link to a much larger version, but even that one doesn't really capture it. And half of you won't be able to connect to cyphertext.net anyway.) But yay, found math!

Edit:
I was bored, so I highlighted the ridge lines. (No, I don't claim I was particularly impartial in the process. The point here is to share an experience, not to prove a theory.)

Nothing to do with math, and I know you're headed for Points North right now, but this was a little creepy:

You took that photo from the parking lot of my old workplace.

Past the initial shiver of scrolling down past a picture of familiar hills next to the icon of a Seattle identity (which is pretty big cognitive dissonance in and of itself), the utter certainty of location was disconcerting.

Weird. I just rolled down the window and took it while driving.
