Description
I once did an environmental research project on the fractal branching characteristics of giant California Sequoia canopies. I was astonished to discover that past the lower branches (an excursion requiring full mountain climbing regalia [and a young body, which I no longer possess]) and into the dense upper canopy, entire forests existed independent of life on the ground. There are actual buttresses, which grow out from the main trunk and use existing branches as a base to form completely new trees invisible from the ground. You can actually walk around in a forest hundreds of feet in the air. The life forms, which inhabit these aerial forests, are, in many instances, new species not found on the ground. Today’s offering is a reminiscence of that experience. I hope I have managed to convey the sense of wonder.

Very amazing image. It is a wonderful fractal in its own rite, but when coupled with your description it takes on an entirly more awesome context. Yes you certainly achieved the idea of being able to travel thru the different canopies of the forest. Great work!

I think you have conveyed the wonderous worlds a way up there in the canapy. A super fractal in brilliant colours.

Yes, Stan, you have conveyed it very well. The atmosphere, and the reality. In NZ we don't have what you have shown so well here, but we do have a climbing plant that becomes parasitic, stifling the tree that enabled it to climb. Then it larrumphs over the treetops in summertime red. The plant is the rata. Actually, in evergreen forests there seem to be a lot of plants that take off exhuberantly across the canopy. I haven't seen this in deciduous forests. But your image shows something altogether darker and brighter. The most interesting thing I see in it is the myriad forms that could be of natural or human origin: strange sculpted shapes 'allowing' themselves to be seen. Of course, being as synethesic as you are helps a lot. Now go and have a look at religious buildings--churches, temples et al...
