This is nothing special; I just want to start cataloging patterns for various reasons, so I wanted to put some of the simple ones online too, for reference later.
This is made from inserting 1x1 bricks in between each corner of a square made from headlight bricks. The squares are then pushed together.
Just practicing with cheese slopes... This shape is interesting to me because it is ostensibly made up of 6 equilateral triangles, which are put together to supposedly make 3 diamonds, which should fit together to make a perfect hexagon. But it is very clear that the cheese slopes are not perfectly triangular, so you get strange things like this. It seems to me that the orange and red parallelograms are each larger than the blue polygon (is it a rhombus? or an irregular hexagon??), but they're all the same size, made up of the same number of slopes.
Just a series of five pics of patterns or repetitions I took whilst in Japan.

"Anything that can be automatically done for you can be automatically done to you."
– Wyland's Law of Automation
"We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles."

"Oh! nature's noblest gift—my gray-goose quill!
Slave of my thoughts, obedient to my will,
Torn from thy parent-bird to form a pen,
That mighty instrument of little men!"
– Lord Byron, 'English Bards and Scotch Reviewers' (1809).
"The question of whether a computer is playing chess, or doing long division, or translating Chinese, is like the question of whether robots can murder or airplanes can fly -- or people; after all, the "flight" of the Olympic long jump champion is only an order of magnitude short of that of the chicken champion (so I'm told). These are questions of decision, not fact; decision as to whether to adopt a certain metaphoric extension of common usage."
– Noam Chomsky, 'Powers and Prospects' (1996).

A fractal is an object or quantity that displays self-similarity, in a somewhat technical sense, on all scales.
I am endlessley amazed by the spiral manner in which sunflowers organise their seeds. It creates the most fascinating patterns which bring to mind the lines of a 'Spirograph' drawing.

When the tide is right out it can take 10 minutes to walk across the sand to the water's edge. On the way you cross many different types of surface, and the sand takes on many different patterns.
