"In its simplest form the Conway criterion states that any hexagon with a pair of opposite sides that are parallel and congruent will tessellate the plane by translation, called hexagonal parallelogons." (Source: Wikipedia).
The photograph depicts a real-life example of tesellation by hexagons found in a derelict house in rural Spain. Hexagon-shaped wire hit by sunlight against a dark background.
The last week of my holiday now - and I finished the blanket. (I was running out of yarn anyway). I think all the hexagons are different...

For lack of this old but still strong hexagonal bolt, the section of the spectator stand that it supports would come tumbling down. In its own way, the patterns of this rusty bolt, worn from years of weather and use, are lovely.
I'm making a throw size hexagon charm quilt. Its so fun that I will have something that has all of my favorite fabrics in one place. I plan to hand sew the entire quilt.
Saturn's hexagonal polar jet stream is the shining feature of almost every view of the north polar region of Saturn. The region, in shadow for the first part of the Cassini mission, now enjoys full sunlight, which enables Cassini scientists to directly image it in reflected light.
Although the sunlight falling on the north pole of Saturn is enough to allow us to image and study the region, it does not provide much warmth. In addition to being low in the sky (just like summer at Earth's poles), the sun is nearly ten times as distant from Saturn as from Earth. This results in the sunlight being only about 1 percent as intense as at our planet.
This view looks toward Saturn from about 31 degrees above the ring plane. The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Jan. 22, 2017 using a spectral filter which preferentially admits wavelengths of near-infrared light centered at 939 nanometers.
The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 560,000 miles (900,000 kilometers) from Saturn. Image scale is 33 miles (54 kilometers) per pixel.

I made this one first, and found that I really don't love handsewing those hexagons together. I went with just this strip of hexagons rather than a whole pillow of hexagons. Blogged here.
I made a hexagonal thing. Not sure what it is but I quite like the look of it. Any ideas what it could be used for? 😀
Hexagonal floor tiles in a doorway in Wappingers Falls, NY. The doorway is this building and both ground floor businesses are no more.
