This wall in Cromer has panels made of half-pipes. This is a simple pattern, but is the basis of the fan background pattern that is widely used in mosaics. The width of the ceramic adds an extra element to the spaces - the arms at the side. These show up better with more contrast (below)


The pattern below is a standard basketweave, commonly used in tiles and brickwork (although it’s more decorative than load-bearing). What I like about it here is the green “grout” of moss.

Couldn’t help noticing these patterns on a monkey puzzle tree and some flint walls…


This one is actually taken looking vertically up the wall of a church tower.

This Sunday was a foggy one at Caister on the east coast of Norfolk. Perfect beach weather…
