About this ebook
This is a photographic journey of discovery. We are going to look for patterns in nature, and try to discover the underlying forces that produce them. My goal for this project is to keep it simple, thought provoking and FUN! Take a hike in the woods, visit a National Park or the City Park near your home and have fun discovering these patterns!
If you see similar patterns here and there - that's a clue! That's a clue that there are underlying physical principles at work!

Underlying Patterns - Rick McKeon
Preface: Join Me On An Adventure!
This is a photographic journey of discovery. We are going to look for patterns in nature and try to discover the underlying forces that produce them. My goal for this project is to keep it simple, thought provoking and FUN! Take a hike in the woods, visit a National Park or the City Park near your home and have fun discovering these patterns!
If you see similar patterns here and there - that's a clue! That's a clue that there are underlying physical principles at work!
I've always been interested in patterns. Early on I took degrees in mathematics and engineering, and throughout my working career my most successful projects depended on spotting patterns and implementing solutions. This book reflects my continued passion for looking beneath the surface
and understanding unifying forces.
In this book I present a lot more questions than answers. I want to encourage you to discover answers on your own, or at least to propose some theories. That's where the fun lies! It doesn't matter so much if you are right or wrong. What matters is that you are curious and excited to make discoveries. In each chapter I propose a few activities to get you thinking. Think of these as your assignment.
They are designed to get you thinking more deeply about the forces that shape our world.
I would like to give a special thanks to my close friend Gerard Coard for his enthusiastic encouragement and support.
Let’s get started looking for Underlying Patterns!
