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

I almost took Latin in High School, til I found out they spoke Spanish in Latin America not Latin, LoL...Spanish has turned out to be a lot more useful, Americas second language as it's turning out. Super fractal work Peace

Love the chandeliers! It is as if such artificial things could somehow naturally grow from the treetops. Gorgeous. I think that studying Latin must have really been a drag, but it is such a beautiful and elegant language that yields an aura of sophistication to the speaker. Bella opus!

Magnificent image Stan!!!! I do not have any experience with latin at all. I do know what you speak of with the early schooling by strict nuns. In my very early days we were living on an airface base in Montreal. The nuns were quick to snap a ruler on your hands if you were slow to respond or not paying enough attention.

Nicely done, like the coloring and composition
