Description
Ultra Fractal 3 - thank you for stopping to look.
***
Slow down and enjoy the things around you, people, nature, brief moments.
Time is fleeting and will never come again. Enjoy and savor each experience.....
***
Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.
Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
...paraphrased from "A Psalm of Life" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

This is outstanding, Maria. I'm truly impressed. I can't imagine how this could be done soley with UF, but if anyone could do it, it would be you. Excellent work.

Holy Smokes, Maria - what an awesome clock! I love the wood texture in it and the shadow it casts. I like the rays of light shining from the left and, heck, the whole composition. Extraordinarily skillful UF work, Tex! (ps - next time could ya make it say "beer thirty" lol)
