It's usually Gothic windows that have tracery. There's always lots of symmetry and regularity in the great cathedrals. Natural tracery as seen by the human eye is wilder and more irregular. Are trees nature's cathedrals or are cathedrals humanity's attempts to emulate forests? The vivid contrasts following a snowfall leave thousands of tiny spaces that sometimes look planned but mostly obey rules that we may never understand.
