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

Fantastic image! So much detail! Corrie

Awesome image Stan. Your ability to create MB3D looking images with UF is amazing. I have yet to manage even close to this with UF. Your depiction of the ancient ruins is a powerful reminder about the grand scale the ancients built on. And to remember they did not have the giant cranes and such machines we take for granted in today's world of building construction. Have a great Sunday.
