The Saar Polygon in Ensdorf, Saarland is a monument commemorating the coal mining industry in Saarland, which ended in June 2012.

The Gray Comma is found from Alaska to Newfoundland in the north, south in the Appalahian Mountains to North Carolina, and from Kansas west to Wyoming and Colorado. In Alberta, the Gray Comma occurs throughout forested regions and is usually associated with mixed wood forests. They are sighted frequently along roads and in clearings. (Alberta Butterflies)

One of the most common forms of patterned ground in Arctic regions are ice wedge polygons. In winter the cold causes frozen soil to shrink, and cracks form (similar to drying mud). In spring meltwater seeps down into the cracks. It freezes and expands when it is chilled by the still-frozen soil. The frozen water forms wedges of ice in the soil. The ice wedges tend to increase in size year after year. I found these patterns by chance flying a drone over tundra. It is much harder to observe these polygons from ground level.

I spent so much time concentrating on this shot that I was completely oblivious to the illuminated Tower Bridge lifting to let a tall ship pass.
Thanks goes to James Beard, who made me aware of this great little viewing platform through his photostream.

These incised small polygons within larger polygons are like a reversed version of the raised salt polygons in Death Valley's Badwater Basin.

Pingos are ice-cored hills, 3–50 m (10–165 ft) high and 30–1,000 m (98–3,281 ft) in diameter. They are typically conical in shape and grow and persist only in permafrost environments, such as the Arctic. The Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula is an area with a marine tundra environment on the shores of the Arctic Ocean with the greatest concentration of pingos in the world. In the foreground, you can see ice-wedge polygons. In winter the cold causes frozen soil to shrink, and cracks form (similar to drying mud). In spring meltwater seeps down into the cracks. It freezes and expands when the still-frozen soil chills it. The frozen water forms wedges of ice in the soil. The ice wedges tend to increase in size year after year. When ice wedges connect, they can form tundra polygons. These polygons are most striking when viewed from the air.
Badwater Basin, Death Valley California
The salt flats of Badwater Basin are remixed with every major rainstorm. The different amounts of water, drying time, dirt, and salt give rise to different results. My guess here is that the dirt didn’t have time to settle out and so is more visible in these irregular and imperfect polygons.
Polygonia c-album, the comma, is a food generalist butterfly species belonging to the family Nymphalidae. The angular notches on the edges of the forewings are characteristic of the genus Polygonia, which is why species in the genus are commonly referred to as anglewing butterflies.

Il fait super beau à Dubaï et la ville est magnifique. Les magasins regorgent de petits trésors, à l'image de ce plafond tapissé de polygones à profusion.
