Description
"Man: He now has seen the Sign of Seven Seals: It's appeared in a dream.
Because Dream is only for Man, not for Nature.
In the Dream, Seven Stars, like Seven Stars of the Sign of Seven Angels.
Seven Stars, not natural: these Seven Stars are artificial, are innatural:
Seven Stars are Human.
Now, Man has seen Sign of Seven Seals. Wars will begin. Seven Wars agaist
Seven Angels, Seven invisible Enemies. Enemies, because Man has decided
that He wants to live: He prefers a bad World with Him, instead of a good
World, without Him. He wants that the Planet dies, but with Him inside.
Man will combat against Seven Angels: Man will combat against Nature.
Probably, Man will Lose: He can't control Nature. For this He has created
His artificial World; He has created a World that He can control. He has
created a World using cold materials: metal, silicon, plastic, that is
dead animals.
Man has decided how die, now: He wants to die at the latest: He does not
worry if, with Him, Planet will die, too. He can die now, and He can
save the World. But Man has decided.
Seven Wars will begin: War of Sea, War of Sky, War of Tree,
War of Mountain, War of Animal, War of Insect, War of Soul.
Now, the Sign of Seven Seals appeared to Man: Now, Seven Wars will begin:
Angels against Seals, Man against Nature, Angels against Man, Seals against
Nature. What's the best thing? That Man will win? That Nature will win?"

The second part of this (story?) idea.
And the second fractal. It was a huge challenge
for me: it has 121 layers...
But after 1 day and 1/2 I've finished it!!!
I hope that the effort to create this is not useless,
and that you'll like the image (and the prose?).
As the "Seven Angels" image: if there's some english
error, please let me know! :-)
And now, W the bed!!!
Goodnight, and don't dream this Sign!

Great image, Daniele! It's plain to see that a great deal of work has gone into this. Your patience has been rewarded. Very well done!

I really like everything about this. The image and the prose. Fantastic job! Accolades.

This is utterly amazing, Daniele! Looks like a lot of effort went into this and the result is breathtaking. And the time spent on the story makes this even more special. Well done!
fractalinda
I echo the well-deserved praise of the others. IMO, this composition is even better than the 1st; both excellent..and the prose is wonderful. According to my belief, neither will prevail, but One who is greater than both, will. Again, very thought provoking! 10+

Incredible! Each seal would be marvelous on its own...to have them all together is amazing. I like the linking too.

Fabulous image!!! I can believe the number of layers this must have taken to get such a perfect result:) Also, thank you for listing the formulas, ucl, and transformations used. This is always of great interest!

Eccezionale ok ora scrivo in italiano almeno mi esprimo meglio ^^ un immagine molto suggestiva e mistica l'accostamento dei colori e delle forme triangolare e circolari che formano la stella di simbologia molto forte, un gran bel pezzo ^^ complimenti Daniele ( Come tu sai io faccio poser ma i frattali li adoro ma non li so fare sono una schiappa :_P ) Bacioni Orietta
