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 can only imagine this perfect scenery as a peace of The Garden Of Eden. The most beautiful place one can imagine to come to rest. The melody raising from the flowers,so soft and sweetly is such a spiritul welcome. What divine power and mood in your posting Stan.

Gorgeous image Stan! The text helps explain very clearly what you are trying to depict and the image fits it perfectly. The chance to rest in such a wonderful place would be a rare treat. One can only imagine how wonderful the music they compose would be. There are many delightful levels to explore in this fractal.

Wonderful dreamy music you are playing here. A super image with great shapes and patterns and excellent colours. I could get lost in this beautiful world.

I look upon this Ainulindalë of yours and I wonder what such an unbelievingly rich and beautiful music would sound like... Then it dawns upon me: Mozart! One can clearly see (hear?) the numerous elements that evolve from utter simplicity into complex, multifold, harmony. I think one would see musicality in this image even if one was not told of that intention.

Outstanding balance in this one again, Stan. A very joyfully fractal, with again amazing use of colors.
