My parents have spent the past few years restoring and maintaining the gardens at the San Antonio Mission on the Fort Hunter Liggett military base. So, I end up visiting it from time to time whenever I go home. Of course, every time I visit, I take my camera with me. When perusing the Library of Congress Digital Collection I found some photos of the mission from 1890 – 1910, a few of which were taken from the same location as my photos. I blended the two together to give a then-and-now feel. Here is the result.

I love math. I love it so much that I do things like this with it when I have nothing better to do.

If you follow the link to the delicious:suite blog you can read this post visualizing a unit circle and all the trigonometric data points that you can calculate from it.

Really, who hasn’t had the urge to play with a unit circle every once and a while?
