spiral
I decided to share this image for the upcoming #macromondays theme called #spiral
A spiral is a curve that starts from a central point and winds around it, moving progressively farther (or closer) from the center with each turn. Unlike a circle, which maintains a constant radius, a spiral’s radius either increases or decreases as the curve revolves around the center. Spirals can be found almost everywhere in the natural world, human creations, and abstract ideas.
In Nature
Plants: sunflower seed arrangements, pinecones, pineapples, ferns (unfurling fronds).
Shells: snail shells, nautilus shells, ammonites.
Animals: ram’s horns, spider webs, certain sea snails and corals.
Weather: hurricanes, tornadoes, whirlpools.
Astronomy: spiral galaxies like the Milky Way.
Microscopic: DNA double helix, microscopic shells.
In Human-Made Structures
Architecture: spiral staircases, minarets, towers, ramps.
Art & Design: Celtic carvings, Islamic geometric patterns, Greek Ionic column volutes.
Technology: coiled springs, rolled-up wires, vinyl records, drills, turbines.
In Abstract Concepts
Mathematics: Archimedean, logarithmic, Fermat’s spirals.
Philosophy & Symbolism: often represents growth, cycles, infinity, spiritual journey.
Culture & Mythology: spirals appear in Maori tattoos, Celtic symbols, Hindu and Buddhist mandalas.
Thank you for visits, comments and favs!
