Bronchioles, Trees or Coastline?

I’m agnostic. But if I wanted to find evidence of a Intelligent Designer in nature, I’d look at more images like this:
I made this image by rotating, blurrying and greyscaling this satellite photo of the coast of Greenland. I saw it on this recently-Dugg blog post, and was immediately struck by how tree-like the fjords and inlets looked.
I showed it to Julie, and she immediately thought of bronchioles, the tubes in your lungs.
I know I sound like a New Age hippie, but this sort of thing kind of blows my mind. It’s amazing and profound that we humans can recognize these recurring micro and macro patterns in nature.
