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

Gorgeous image Stan and your description makes it all the more impressive. It would be so wonderful if there was ever the possibility to actually construct such a bridge between cultures and countries. With the state the world is in unfortunately I'm afraid such a bridge would be commendered by the army and used to transport tanks and weapons across the divide to kill each other. Have a great weekend Stan.

Stan, This looks like a great triumph celebration of Good winning over the turmoil in this world. I think most of us online, have friends scattered around the world. And I agree some of them are not in the best of places at this time. May the goodness be with us at all times. God Bless Stunning fractal, love the colors, water, and design.

WOW, wonderful and otherworldly work here. Takes you to a new dimension (Pun intended)!

The reflection of these beautiful colors should be a positive sign to each of us!! That we are all connected and could agree to disagree,rather than fight. Man is not nearly smart enough to understand this concept. Many of us feel helpless in troubled times and really try to defend something we have no control of and then the fights start.. Thanks again for sharing Stan. We all should pray for the less fortunate/daily.

A wonderful bridge you have created here and I hope everyone crosses it and thinks about and does something about getting along with other people. We are seeing here after our earthquake a lovely side of people mostly but their are some who are taking advantage and stealing from others. Beautiful colouring and design in this bridge.
