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

Marvelous gasket work Stan. I love the look of this. The large orb in the center appears to have a living tree right inside it. The reflections from the floor on the bottom of the green orbs are amazing. The main thing magical about your images is the creator. I honestly have no idea how you are able to coax such beauty out of a fractal program. The use of magic might make that easier.

I just can't wrap my head around how you create such amazing fractals. The way you have made this with such perfection is magical to me. The details are awesome,and the blend of colors and lighting add to the beauty. Outstanding image Stan.

this is so cool. I love the soft green colors and the soft lighting, too.

A wonderful artifact you have created in UF with its beautiful little tree in the center orb. There is also a beautiful shine to this too. Excellent work and a great treasure.

I don't quite see the "artifact", but rather something almost organic, like an exotic fruit bowl, or perhaps some type of eggs. It IS quite alluring, with the spheres and the green-bluish tones. The central sphere could be a fossil of some sort. I just wish it were a bit bigger so it would fit into my screen as a wallpaper without stretching, because I find it very peaceful and calming.
