Abstract: Let $Z^2$ denote the standard lattice in the plane $R^2$. We prove that given a finite subset $Ssubset{R}^2$ and $eps>0$, then for all sufficiently large dilations $t>0$ there exists a rotation $hocolon{R}^{2}o{R}^2$ around the origin such that $dist(ho(tz),Z^2)<eps$, for all $zinS$. The result, in a larger generality, has been proved in 2006 by Tamar Ziegler (improving earlier results by Furstenberg, Katznelson, Weiss). The proof presented in the paper is short and self-contained.
