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

Amazingly Beautiful Fractal Art!..

Your work continues to amaze and impress me Stan. This is stunning in its beauty. You had mentioned on my posting the other day about a wall mural about the change in the brick pattern. There was no corner there, it was an extension of the wall. Somewhere along the line they made the building bigger, and seemed to use a different size brick on the extension.
