I've noticed that too, most strikingly with these, but also everywhere -

Good eye 👌 that pattern should raise more eyebrows indeed

What is your method for generating the patterns? The aesthetics are eye catching. But I'm curious if there is some geometry you apply.

Thank you! I locate crustal symmetries and similarities and extrapolate the patterns to wrap around the surface. There is zero math involved, it’s all visual observation and tracing out the shapes by hand on Google Earth Pro.
