Etched into the windows of a building on the UCSF Mission Bay campus
Some days I see objects and living creatures. Other days I just see patterns and shapes. Have a great week everyone!
Danum Valley, Malaysia
The jungle is filled with amazing things, sometimes all you need to do to see it is stop and examine your surroundings and things you might have just walked right by become apparent. Leafs like this were common and in my opinion quite pretty as well. I don't know if the damage to the leaf was fungal or caused by insects but I think the left over veins of the leaf made a beautiful pattern.
Inspired by eilonwy77's cheese-wedge patterns, particularly this one. Drawn in InkScape.
I haven't the patience or parts to put this together myself, so I sketched it :)

Giraffe Pattern - Captured at Taronga Zoo, Sydney, Australia.
Learn more about the Giraffe:
The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest of all land-living animal species, and the largest ruminant. Males can be 4.8 to 5.5 metres (16 to 18 feet) tall and weigh up to 1,700 kilograms (3,800 pounds). The record-sized bull, shot in Kenya in 1934, was 5.87 m (19.2 ft) tall and weighed approximately 2,000 kg (4,400 lb). Females are generally slightly shorter, and weigh less than the males do.
The giraffe is related to deer and cattle, but is placed in a separate family, the Giraffidae, consisting only of the giraffe and its closest relative, the okapi. Its range extends from Chad to South Africa.
Giraffes can inhabit savannas, grasslands, or open woodlands. They prefer areas enriched with acacia growth. They drink large quantities of water and, as a result, they can spend long periods of time in dry, arid areas. When searching for more food they will venture into areas with denser foliage.

Once this small hospital somewhere in Italy was a shelter for children that were suffering from lung diseases. The remote location in the mountains and the numerous surrounding forests are providing healthy air which was necessary to treat tuberculosis and other diseases. In the 1930s this facility was opened.
The property with lavishly laid out garden offered enough space for a great number of children. This was a facility of the church, so especially nuns were nursing the sick.
