Designing a Subdivision or Two...
Whether I rely on instinct, a map or my my GPS (when possible make a legal U-turn) I seem often to be driving in the unknown (to me).
I find orientation by Cardinal Points to be instinctive; continuous minor deviations, not so much so.
We give Man the credit for the intricate patterning of Subdivisions, and praise his imaginative design.
Nature has had the design for much longer and does not seem to attract the same credit. In fact the design has infinite variations in every leaf of every family or genus of trees or plants.
In my example here, without reference to scale, I may very well have been viewing man-made subdivisions from space. Instead I am viewing Nature - the back of a leaf, and a dead one at that.
