    Curvature of space-time

    Taken during one of my Sunday morning walks with my good friend Sid.
    We were passing the University of Toronto's Varsity Stadium when I noticed the running track through a metal gate, liked the clean lines and curves of the lanes and grabbed this shot.

    A very dramatic set of sweeping curves. Had been hoping you had provided the definitive answer to the mystery of gravity. I will just sit here awhile and enjoy the tranquil white on blue pattern before continuing my relentless search for a solution.....

    Mike/Paul,
    Thanks for the kind words.
    Paul,
    I actually worked out the solution last night, but I seemed to have left the piece of paper in my other pants. Sorry. Maybe later.

    Good choice of lens to produce that nice recession around the curve.

    John,
    Thanks for commenting. The choice of lens was just serendipity. I carry a small, light body and lens when we walk, as we are usually out for three hours, and our main focus is to chat, catch up the weeks events and complain about our wives. Any photo opportunities are secondary, and are just quick grabs. My friend isn't a photographer so I'm not inclined to take any more than a minute or two to shoot when we walk.

    Very nice grab shot then, Robert. On the other hand, it is nice to have someone to complain with.

    Thanks Izzie,
    I think the correct adage is "Misery loves company."
