Near my previous job there was a park with similar tiling [0]. I'm not sure if the pattern qualifies as truly aperiodic(?) but it triggered my brain every day, I couldn't not look at it. I love these kinds of patterns, they always invoke my curiosity. Just like in music irregularity makes things interesting. Something for your brain to solve. You know there has to be logic behind a seemingly random pattern.

That pattern looks periodic, but it's super cool! I think the periodic unit is a flower shape consisting of 8 tiles: 2 in the middle making a hexagon, and then 6 more around the hexagon, like the petals of a flower.
