Mirror tricks
A pattern built in a mirror box with the shape of an equilateral triangle. The pattern has symmetry type *333 (if we consider the colouring) or 3*3 (if we ignore the colours).
This pattern is quite common in the pavings of our towns.
You can see another photo of the same tiling, or an other photo taken in the same mirror box, or another one taken in a mirror box with a different shape.
