Ever since I was a little kid, honey has been my favorite sweetener. While on vacation I captured a few images of the honeycomb pattern...

I think it is probably safe to say that regardless of how many years ago the inspiration was born, the designer of Topkapi Palace's window grate pattern was influenced by nature's perfect hexagonal honeycomb.
Another outstanding blog!
