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

Wow Stan! This is absolutly stunning in its beauty. The small orb in the center seems to be the controlling point. If it was an animated image I would see the small light flares in the center of the large red V coming from the top and the bottom of the image towards the center. Your play with lights and choice of colors on this image combine into a fractal that actually grabs your eyes and pulls them right into the center.

Fantastice creation.

A very beautiful fractal you have created here with a wonderful centerpiece. I love the lacy effect of the fractal on the left and the right and the super detail. A wonderful work.

Wonderful concept that stems from the title... Makes one think of multiverse travelers, inter-dimensional explorers. It is as if all the possibilities of Schroedinger's equations were fractal patterns waiting to be collapsed. The beauty of the image adds an almost religious touch, like Dante's view of God, as portrayed by Gustav Doré. Precious work.
