Folded from a regular hexadecagon of textured paper; final piece ~12 inches across. This is a refolding of a design I exhibited at 5OSME this summer-- but somehow never posted to Flickr.
Here we have the radial symmetry of the center color changes nested inside the asymmetry of the eilliptical tato; at the same time, the asymmetrical polygon approximation is juxtaposed within the regular polygon that I started with.

The church is commonly referred to as Cașin Monastery, name coming from the street "Mănăstirea Cașin".
In fact there was no monastery in here, its official name is "Church Parcul Domeniilor - Cașin".
This Romanian Orthodox church is located in Bucharest, at a large intersection just block away from the Triumph arch.
One of the largest orthadox churches in Bucharest, Casin Monastery was designed in 1935 by D Ionescu-Berechet.
Being delayed by the Second World War and its aftermath, it was finished only in 1958.
It is dedicated to St Archangels Michael and Gabriel.
You can admire the grand columns and mosaic decorations.
Most iconic is the three apses domes, with the highest reaching 50 metres.
It is the first church in Romania to have the arches and walls of the main dome entirely decorated in Murano glass.
Dimitrie Ionescu-Berechet, chief architect of the Romanian Patriarchate, won a contest to design the church, to be built on land donated by Bucharest City Hall.
The cornerstone was laid in August 1937, and the structure complete in March 1938.
Work stopped during WW II but was resumed in 1946–1959.
The church combines the Brâncovenesc style, with its entrance columns, with Byzantine architecture, as seen in the mosaics, the centred Greek cross plan and the high and spacious interior.
The marble and alabaster iconostasis, with icons in mosaic, was done from 1952 to 1959, following Ionescu-Berechet's plans and with contributions from artists Ion Dimitriu-Bârlad, Constantin Baraschi, and Mihai Wagner.
Between 1962 and 1971, the walls and floors were covered in 3 m high white and rose marble plates, a balcony for the choir was installed, and large mosaic icons of Murano glass placed at eye level along the walls.
Repairs were done in 2002–2003, and the domes, formerly copper green, were painted bright green in 2008.
The church, measuring 42 x 29 m, has three apses, and the highest dome reaches 50 metres.
Its surface area is 780 square metres.
The altar apse is semicircular and is surrounded by an open, arched portico.
A large polygonal dome rises above the nave; its windows are arched and it has small columns all around.
Four smaller octagonal domes of similar design surround the main one.
The vestibule features a large arch; in the centre of its exterior there is a large mosaic featuring Archangels Michael and Gabriel, surrounded by ornamentation.
Twelve stone steps lead up to an open area outside the entrance, surrounded by five frontal and two side arches supported by pairs of short white marble columns decorated with old Romanian patterns.
The outside wall to the left and right of the entrance doors is also plated with marble and, above, decorated with mosaic icons.
The doors have bronze bas-reliefs of Michael and Gabriel as well as Saints Peter and Paul.
As usual in Orthodox churches, the inside of the main dome is painted with Christ Pantocrator.
The arches and walls of the sanctuary are entirely decorated in Murano glass, a first for Romania.
The altar apse, noticeably raised, appears lit in green, in contrast to the white marble with which the iconostasis is plated.
In the foreground is a fountain with the image of Hercules. The following is information about the fountain.
Officially, "King George of Poděbrady Square" in Czech, "Náměstí Krále Jiřího z Poděbrad".
"Fountain with Hercules (Lower Fountain). A renaissance polygonal fountain with a tank with smooth walls and a planted rim. From the 16th century. On the central pillar, transitioning into a capital with a stylized decor, it is complemented by a statue of Hercules, which bears the inscription 1738. Hercules is below life size, with a club and a shield with the coat of arms of the city of Cheb.
Cheb (German Eger, in the Sudeten German dialect of Cheb Egha; obsoletely also Heb) is a town in the district of the same name in the Karlovy Vary Region, 40 km southwest of Karlovy Vary and 5 km from the border with Germany on the Ohři River, from which it is derived from the German name of the city. The first historically preserved mention of Cheb, the central city of the entire former Chebsko, dates from 1061. Until the end of World War II, the majority of the population was German, and Cheb was an important part of the Sudetenland. After the end of the war, the German residents were displaced and the town became largely depopulated. Approximately 32 thousand inhabitants live here, which makes Cheb the second largest city in the region after Karlovy Vary. There are seven primary schools, two secondary schools, one practical school, two grammar schools and the Faculty of Economics of the University of West Bohemia in Cheb. The main industries here are engineering, textiles, metalworking, construction, woodworking and food. The neighboring municipalities of the seat are Okrouhlá, Třebeň, Pomezí nad Ohří, Nebanice, Tuřany, Odrava, Lipová, Libá, Františkovy Lázně, Waldsassen and Schirnding.
Bohemia (Latin Bohemia, German Böhmen, Polish Czechy) is a region in the west of the Czech Republic. Previously, as a kingdom, they were the center of the Czech Crown. The root of the word Czech probably corresponds to the meaning of man. The Latin equivalent of Bohemia, originally Boiohaemum (literally "land of Battles"), which over time also influenced the names in other languages, is derived from the Celtic tribe of the Boios, who lived in this area from the 4th to the 1st century BC Bohemia on it borders Germany in the west, Austria in the south, Moravia in the east and Poland in the north. Geographically, they are bounded from the north, west and south by a chain of mountains, the highest of which are the Krkonoše Mountains, in which the highest mountain of Bohemia, Sněžka, is also located. The most important rivers are the Elbe and the Vltava, with the fertile Polabean Plain extending around the Elbe. The capital and largest city of Bohemia is Prague, other important cities include, for example, Pilsen, Karlovy Vary, Kladno, Ústí nad Labem, Liberec, Hradec Králové, Pardubice and České Budějovice, Jihlava also lies partly on the historical territory of Bohemia." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

I was stupid not to think about this before, but I realized that smaller 'circles' can be made not only by adjusting the angle, but shortening each segment from 4 studs to 2. Here are the results.

Polygonal lakes are very picturesque and easily accessible, so they are very popular with
photographers. It is a chain of small shallow lakes flowing one into another. They are located in the central part of the Khibiny Mountains.

The Lena delta is one of the largest still pristine river deltas in the world. Its many naturally meandering arms form a magnificent tree-like shape. And ice wedges in the fine sediments of the treeless tundra form regular polygons with small ponds. The whole of the Lena Delta area has been nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On August 12, 1996, the Russian Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) significantly expanded the Lena Delta state nature reserve. At 14,330 square kilometres, the Lena Delta reserve ("Zapovednik") was already one of the largest and most important nature reserves in the Arctic. With its new size of 61,320 square kilometres, the expanded Lena Delta Reserve is now the largest protected area in Russia and one of the largest on earth. It is, however, only a small part of Sakha’s “Gift to the Earth”. Sakha, a republic approximately the size of Western Europe, decided in 1994 to designate at least 20% of its territory as a nature reserve.
