Hexagon Fun

Hi Scores Boards · Post by **Hi Scores Boards** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 2:42 pm

I was going through my old family pics (scanning onto to the computer) and some of our old pics are very bocesque

So bearing that in mind I thought I'd share this pic, mainly because of all those grainy boc images I remember one particular pic with the plastic/fibreglass hexagonal slide/climbing frame. To me it stands out because there was one such slide and frame at an outdoor swimming pool when I was on holiday at Teignmouth in Devon back in the 70's

As you can imagine i'ts not the greatest thing to confess to but I thought I'd share and give everyone a laugh at my expense!!

This in the BoC image:-

and my family photo:-

I think one of the first things that caught my imagination about Boards Of Canada (after the music) was the imagery, particulary growing up in the 70's, it was almost nostalgic!!

by the way I'm the little kid on the far left

That shape is called a Cuboctahedron

It's like a cube with the corners cut off
