Genuine Kaleidoscopic Pictures

Taking some of my pictures and playing with them in PhotoShop.
The resulting pictures are kaleidoscopic in the same way as seen in a toy kaleidoscope.
An equilateral rtiangle of a photo is taken and then two rotated versions of 120° and 240°
are also made. Then each of the three is mirrored to have six triangles.
Then those trangles are assembled in a repetive way, so that at each side of each
triangle is a matching mirror image. This is not an easy task because
computer pixels are oriented in 90° coordinates - but 60° triangles have a ratio of
twice the square root of three. So sub-pixel precision is required.
