Pi

Funny word, π.

I think I may be in love with a π -face. So many facets of π that get me wound up, thinking, then confused, then questioning my own cleverness, then wanting to hear more and more about the lengths it goes to…ARGGH!

π (Pi) is the ratio of a circle’s circumference and its diameter. What’s more, the area of a circle is equal to π times the square of the radius of the circle. π is an irrational number, which means that its value cannot be expressed exactly as a fraction having integers in both the numerator and denominator (unlike say 24/7). Consequently, it never ends and never repeats! I wonder whether π gets exhausted…

How such a simple ratio – the simplest ratio of the simplest shape – be the most irregular is a complete mystery to my simple brain. Fortunate me that I get to shoot circles and swirls and know not what circumference nor diameters I am dealing with. Leave that to the brainy mathematicians…

About Alice

I run, I jump, I sing, I dance. Whether climbing trees, walls or stairs I do it at a clip. When out, my date is always Trusty Nikon (who never lets me down in the attire stakes; so smart in his black, with a pop of red!). Where does it lead, this love affair of mine? Well, its lead me to Dubai, via the matrimonial aisle, thanks to a gorgeous husband who whisked me from Coogee beach, Sydney into the Arabian Peninsula - to my new home, Dubai. I am a freelance writer and photographer and my wish is to snap away, to scribe and to share it all with you. Enjoy.
