A Platonic Regatta

Title

A Platonic Regatta

Description

'The three windsails racing down Huntington Lake exemplify the (rotational) symmetries of the Platonic solids: icosahedron/dodecahedron, cube/octahedron, and tetrahedron. The icosahedron is painted with a picture of sweet peas, the cube with a bright marigold. The tetrahedron was too twisted to paint, so I used simple primary colors. Reflections on the water are a trick of ray-tracing.'
