Natural Textures & Patterns 202 images Created 24 Jan 2011

Here are a selection of textures and patterns from a wide variety of sources. Some are taken from nature: from the bark of trees, leaves, dappled water, others are taken from man-made structures and artifacts: from pieces of metal, weathered wooden doors, steel coils and panels. It's amazing what you can find if you look for it.
