Our consciousness seeks patterns... although this pattern seeking is likely a survival mechanism there is certainly an acquired cultural inflection to this area of perception.
In the natural landscape that which evokes a significant visual experience is appended to an underlying philosophy or vision. The patterns that rise up from chaos to create part of our experience are actually a manifestation of our consciousness... not an insight into the visual nature of existence. When we move through a landscape we are not just flowing through a topography we are also moving through our own subconscious projections and philosophies.
