I wasn't there when a group of uber-creative Japanese programmers came up with the concept for Pac Man. I'd like to think that perhaps they had hung around lily pads much like this one, and were inspired to create the then-cutting-edge game based on a timeless and elegant structure of nature.

Art. Science. Nature. They're all connected, as far as I'm concerned.

Your turn: How does this shot make you feel?
