Andres Amador's Murals in the Sand

The beauty
of Life's transience
is perhaps
the most puzzling
of all.

At low tide, beach artist Andres Amador creates his spectacular masterpieces. If you visit the San Francisco coast frequently, you may have had the unique pleasure of catching a long glimpse of this artist's massive pieces of beach art.

The Beauty of Mathematics

Beauty.
It is the profound idea that one piece of reality can attract another.
Curiosity, rooted in who we are as individuals; a mere collection of mortal memories.

Beauty is in simplicity.
Beauty is in complexity.
Beauty is in what is natural and unique.

This world is a beautiful place. Go out and enjoy it!
