Description

Part of a Julia fractal. Of course I know that Shakespeare's Julia and Gaston Julia are two totally different entities, and maybe Gaston shouldn't be amused with this title. One of the tragedies of his life is that he developed a new field in mathematics, but never saw the graphic results. Computer screens didn't exist in his time. So Mandelbrot was the real Romeo who completed his work. Thanks for this view and for your comments on the 'Tribute'.

Love the contrast of the light colors to the chocolate colors. Fantastic lighting 'n' details. Oh, I don't know, maybe Gaston isn't stuck in Heaven ALL the time! lol q-: Lovely work! V (:

Very romantic version of the story! "never was there such a tale of woe than that of Julliet and her Romeo"...something like that...lol

Beautiful mother-of-pearl colors in this fractal! I like the way you "framed" it, too - excellent image!

Ed, this is so very beautiful! It is sad that he didn't live to see the evidence of his genius in this form! Think of the people all over the world whose lives his work has enriched beyond measure. I am one of those people. So are you. Most of us here in the fractal community, are. If there is a just God, I hope Gaston Julia will have written on his plus side, all the millions of people who have been blessed by his creation. Thank you for sharing this incredible beauty! Leann

Got tears in my eyes over this one, Ed! Really lovely colours, totally unusual palette and great piece of history you've provided! In 6 years of fractalling, I've never again bothered to find out about the story of these two guys - I only vaguely remember back to when I first read about fractals in National Geographic (80's?) and looked forward to the day when I could see their graphic results, never knowing that I'd be playing with these formulas too!
