Rolling along
Tangents to the blue circle (ABC) intersect at a point K, and the line AK intersects (ABC) at H. D is the midpoint of BC. Show that the green circle (DHB) is tangent to the line AB.

Two triangles and one incircle with its centre and tangency points. Prove that the triangles are similar.
Cathedral on the hills
A cathedral is erected on two hills, the side circular arcs whose centers are the hill ends, and so that the right (and left) side arcs are orthogonal. Show that the tip of the spire is directly above where the hills meet.
