Six [read everything]

Challenge #6 in the Symbols series. Hosted by nDray.

Challenge has finished

Photos of number 6. The phrase "six" or shape "6" or "VI" must be visible in the photo, and not too open to subjectiveness. It's better if printed, painted or carved somewhere. Don't waste time (mine and yours) posting photos where you just "count 6 of something".

isnt that a oneminded, overly simplistic connection to make. that band, my dear, not talking about the music, are just about mixin half symbols, half dreams and half wit for a "desired effect". essentially it's what any charlatan does.
besides that, yes, i enjoy some of their music, it gives cheap thrills just like any ol' bottle would.
cheery-o!

it is more complex than that. the rate of growth of said snail's shell has a spiralling growth of ~1.61
, but this powerful number is found in all living things and is actually related to the Fibonacci sequence...
you see, the Architect had a plan and nothing is as straightforward as it seems and everything is one :)
have a nice day!
