Whether it’s the bark of a tree or the surface (cover) of a manhole: It’s all the same. The texture seems too irresistible to not touch. Alas, we do it all the time, we touch a surface we find intriguing or one we are curious about because it looks inviting of course. Everything we touch and feel can be considered to be a type of texture. In photography, a photographer will take a close shot of a surface that is interesting (and could also be a repeated pattern) such as the surface of a wrinkled hand. By having zoomed in (possibly using a macro lens to obtain maximum quality and detail) one would automatically feel the need or want to actually touch that surface themselves.
