As a flapping object moves through a fluid, many patterns of vortices can form in its wake. The familiar von Karman vortex street, so often seen in clouds or behind cylinders, is only the beginning. In the photo above, a symmetric foil flaps in a vertical soap film; as the amplitude and frequency of the oscillation varies, the wake patterns it produces change dramatically.  From left to right, a) a von Karman wake; b) an inverted von Karman wake; c) a 2P wake, in which two vortex pairs are shed with each cycle; d) a 2P+2S wake, in which two vortex pairs and two single vortices are shed per cycle; e) a 4P wake; and f) a 4P+2S wake. See some of these flows in action in these videos. (Photo credit: T. Schnipper et al.)

A bit of Fluid Dynamics.

Claudia Rogge  is a German artist and photographer, whose work with collections of bodies create a range of artistic human patterns.

As I flicked through her pictures, gawping at her images, it struck me that it seems that she has an infinite variation of styles, with many different influences. She takes inspiration from minimalistic and contemporary approaches and amalgamates them beautifully with an exaggerated motion effect, that is prevalently apparent in baroque artwork.

A rare photo of Hayao Miyazaki smiling.
Immediately after taking this picture, Hayao put a butterfly knife against the photographer’s throat for taking a picture of him not scowling or looking grumpy.

Desert Graveyard of Ships

In the 1960’s, the Soviets diverted tributary rivers from the Aral Sea, causing it to recede by more than 50% and leaving Uzbekistan’s only port torn of Mo’ynoq a desert wasteland filled with boats not quick enough to escape the aftermath. But one’s man economic disaster is just another man’s photo op, as it were, as the area is now host to tourists who’ve come to see these lingering ghosts of commerce.

Glass Beach is a protected beach, but not for its natural beauty. Located just outside of Fort Bragg, California it became an illegal dumping ground for residents in the late nineteenth century who lacked any kind of refuse pickup. It wasn’t until 1967 that the illegal dump was finally closed by city leaders and the local water board. The beach was cleaned of large refuse, but small pieces of glass and plastic that had been worn down by the elements remain, giving the beach its name and its unusual beauty.
