Hi Folks! :)

Recently there was renewed discussion about what
exactly should be described as "flow lines" or
"orientation" - and several examples were offered
that depicted orientation/flow (or lack of).

With that in mind, I ran across this today :

http://mineralsciences.si.edu/captions/grosvenor.htm

I think this example clearly illustrates both terms -
and it's simply beautiful to look at. ;)

Regards,

MikeG
