Pattern on a tree carved out by insects. Seen on the path down from La Viershöhe to Königsruhe (King's Rest) in Bodetal (Bode Valley, or Bode Gorge) between Thale and Treseburg in the Harz mountains, Sachsen-Anhalt (Saxony-Anhalt), Germany.
---quotation from en.wikipedia.org about Bodetal:---
The Bode Gorge (German: Bodetal) is a 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) long ravine that forms part of the Bode valley between Treseburg and Thale in the Harz Mountains of central Germany. The German term, Bodetal (literally "Bode Valley"), is also used in a wider sense to refer to the valleys of the Warme and Kalte Bode rivers that feed the River Bode.
At the Bode Gorge, the River Bode, which rises on the highest mountain in the Harz, the Brocken, has cut deeply into the hard Ramberg granite rock. The ravine is about 140 m deep at Treseburg and some 280 m deep at Thale where it breaks out into the Harz Foreland. The Bode Gorge was designated a nature reserve as early as 5 March 1937; its boundaries being subsequently expanded. With an area of, currently 473.78 hectares (1,170.7 acres), it is one of the largest nature reserves in Saxony-Anhalt.

Harz weekend June 2012
Detail of a kiosk roof in Copley Square. Taken for pattern study during June 2007 Boston Miksang Level 1 class. I debated how much of the curve of the roof I could show without giving the trees in the background visual prominence. Hopefully the pattern is strong enough to draw you back there, because that's what the perception was about.
I forgot I had this. It was just a grab shot from our garden this summer. If I had realized just what was going on in there, I would have done much more with it. I can't even remember what it's called.
I have an enduring fascination with patterns, particularly those on floors or ceilings. The grey and white bathroom tiles in the Seattle Medical and Dental Building make me feel as if I'm in a black and white film.
Better late than never! Our dogwood is blooming and I can't help but notice all the patterns from minute to large.
