Fine Art Print : Maple seed flight path
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Maple seed flight path
Maple seed flight path. Multi-flash photo composition of a maple seed (Acer sp.) spinning as it falls. Maple seeds are attached to the tree in pairs. When they are pulled off the tree by a gust of wind the pair are also pulled apart. As the individual seeds fall they begin to spin around their centre of gravity, which is located in the nut (small hard lump at one end of the seed). The spinning slows down the decent of the seed, allowing it to be carried further away from the tree

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing flight path of a maple seed as it gracefully descends from its tree. The multi-flash composition showcases the intricate spinning motion of the seed, which is attached to its pair until they are pulled apart by a gust of wind. As each individual seed falls, it begins to rotate around its center of gravity, located in the nut at one end. This spinning action not only adds an enchanting visual element but also slows down the descent, allowing for greater distance from the parent tree. The image beautifully illustrates nature's ingenious method of seed dispersal through wind. With a green background highlighting its botanical essence, this composite photograph offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of plant biology and reproduction. The helical movement and airborne spin resemble that of a rotor or helicopter-like mechanism. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this moment in time, showcasing both scientific precision and artistic flair. It serves as a reminder that even in seemingly simple natural processes like falling seeds, there is an underlying complexity waiting to be explored and understood.
