Not good at all for our climate but the process of drilling oil and how an oil field looks is great for a Geometric January. I spotted the oil field and the field of crops in lines (header) from a train in California, more on that eventful journey another day.


For those wondering we’re in the middle of a Squares Challenge, and the theme is Geometry.
We’ve been sharing shapes, space, lines, and well everything geometric. This branch of mathematics is part of everyday life; used by animators, architects, artists, astronomers, carpenters, cartographers, designers, engineers, landscape gardeners, navigators, scientists, urban planners, and of course us the Squares Gang.
If you haven’t yet joined us then there is still plenty of time. You could post daily for the rest of the month, at the weekends or may just once by 31st January. The only thing you must do is keep at least one image square!
Here’s mine today: Barcelona: https://margaret21.com/2025/01/16/geometry-at-glories/

Ah, you won’t see the Must Sees from me. I HAVE seen them now, and crowds crowding there put me off from going back.

Too many oil fields in just one location?

thanks – wish the train had slowed down for a few minutes so I could have got better shots

drilling definitely not good, but suspect we have at least a few more decades of it ahead of us
