The crack in my bathroom tile looks like a perfect little mountain range

I was cleaning grout yesterday and noticed this hairline crack that runs across three tiles, and from the right angle it honestly could pass for a topographic map of the Rockies. I didn't even think about fixing it, just took a photo and stared for like 10 minutes. Has anyone else found themselves not wanting to repair something because it accidentally looks cooler broken?

Stopped me cold when I read this, because I have the exact same thing going on in my kitchen. There's a crack running through the backsplash that from the right spot looks like the Grand Canyon, all layered and orange and dusty. My son said I was crazy for not wanting to call the repair guy, but honestly, it's become my favorite part of the room. I even catch myself turning the light on just to see how the shadow plays across it. It's funny how a mistake can turn into something you'd never plan on purpose. I bet your mountain range has more character than half the tiles they sell in stores.
