Quads

[Nothing But Net]

I've stumbled across a new method, probably not original, but cool nevertheless. I call it Quad, and it makes for good wallpapers. Take most any picture, copy it, flip it, and reverse as needed, then do it again.

The results can be pretty cool when you tile them as your desktop wallpaper, for example:

Here is a picture I took in Paris at the Metro station, transformed using the method:

And thus enhanced:

Here is one taken in a field west of Houston:

and its result:

The Williams Tower in Houston:

and my interpretation:

And my fave, the spiral staircase at my hotel in Paris:

results in the wallpaper I am currently using:

Copy and paste the Grass one as a tiled wallparer and you will see the face in the swamp. Creepy.
