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

Wow!! I really like this one. Great colors and depth.

This is an awesome offering Stan. The depth effect of the tunnel is wonderful. and the overall coloring is very pleasing to the eye. The royal blue near the top center sort of draw my attention right to it. I am always a sucker for royal blue and gold tones. This is wonderful presentation Stan. I know what you mean about always seeking perfection in our images, in this case I do not have a single thing I would adjust or change about it. If this has not achieved perfection I am not sure what it would be. Have a good weekend, and enjoy all that extra sleep tomorrow night from the time change :)

Excellent design and very colorful

WOW, stunning! Great depth and colors. It's a good thing it's not perfect (in your eyes). If you reach perfection, what else is there to do? Just my thoughts. :-) Corrie

Thank you Pontigary for your kind words. There are 63 layers in 12 groups.

A wonderful fractal and with all those layers and groupings it is no wonder you got this amazing result. I love how I can really look into the center of this and go so far down right into the core. Beautiful colours too.

It is just stunning, Stan. As always, your palette is excellent.
