Inspiration for our patterns


(Micro landscape - nano-scale titanium crystals on the surface of an orthopaedic implant magnified 70,000 times... cool!)

there are some really nice images of patterns here, the photographs are being presented as visual art, but could also be looked at from a very scientific or mathematic eye. or all three simultaneously which probably offers a deeper undertsanding of what is going on.
it is interseting beacuse these really beautiful patterns exist everywhere and what this photographer has done is focus our eyes on some very tiny ones...
