Hoops by M. Smilack

I took the picture above in Amsterdam a few years ago. Then, the other night while surfing the internet, I unexpectedly came upon the image below. I found their resemblance uncanny. Yet, the picture below is the plotting of electric fields of positive and negative particles; the image above is a reflection of a bridge on a Dutch canal. What does this mean? Is it evidence that universal shapes recur in Nature and Art? I can only tell you this: that at the moment I saw the picture below, I felt the gestalt of recognition from having seen the same shapes on the water.
