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

Stunning image Stan! The concept that this chalis holds what ever the holder wants it to hold is such an intoxicating thought. There are some people that would want it to hold the idea of peace in the middle east finally, while others would be dreaming about it holding more advanced and deadlier weapoI love your postings Stan as they so often elicit ns to attack each other with. I personally would hope for good health for Glenda and myself. I love your postings Stan, as they so often eilicit the viewer to think seriously about some very deep topics.

Fantastic work.

A beautiful chalice in lovely colours. One would have to think very carefully about what it should contain for them. I will admire it for the splendid work that it is and think about the decision.

Love the near-metallic yellowish-golden glow at the edges. The darker insides provide a sense of depth. The flower-like center reminds me of oriental motifs. Marvelous one my friend!

Awesome image!! The concept that a Chalice holds only whatever one desires is quite interesting. One has to be careful very careful !! The colors,lighting and metal tones in your image is awesome. Super job as always Stan.
