I am an environmental scientist. A large part of my career has been dedicated to scientific research into the structure of ecosystems and factors that affect them. Quite early on, it became apparent that certain mathematical iterative principles formed geometries that coincided exactly with those found in natural ecosystems. And by ecosystems, I do not mean just plants and animals. The same principles also apply to quantum physics, geology, meteorology and on up to the formation of galaxies. These relationships were championed most publicly by the brilliant mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot, the founder of fractal geometry.
To my mind, the structure of natural ecosystems through application of these iterative processes revealed not only the genius and subtlety of nature but also its incomparable beauty. Â

Looks like a beautiful lush garden or forest. Such a nice treat now that the weather has turned cold and there is very little green around anymore. Your fractals consistently impress me with their design and lighting.

Wow!!! This is marvelous. Great colors, excellent fractal. It reminds me of nature
~ :) Nature is in fractals~Fractals are in Nature. Thank you so much for your very nice comment on the spider. :)npauling
I love this beautiful bower you have created here with the lovely colouring and intricate design.
