Doors and Weaving!

While traveling through Sweden, I was struck by the designs on doors!  As a weaver I am always looking for weaving designs and color sequences in architectural structures and in nature.  I  can't help it!  My eyes and brain are always seeing things from that prospective.  I was not disappointed in Sweden.  The doors were amazing and much to a weaver's delight could be translated into weaving patterns. Just take a look..................(if you are a weaver, what weaving patterns do you see?)

Can you see the twill diamond  and point twill diamond pattern?

What about here? Might these be broken twill patterns?

OK, here's a tough one.  Could this be networked draft or an overshot pattern? Any ideas how this could be translated?

Some more variations on the diamond pattern.

As you can see, these doors are not just functional. There is a beauty about them. I was totally fascinated.

I'd love to hear what you think. If you weave, what weaving patterns do you see? If you are not a weaver, how do you see these patterns translated in the environment around you?
