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

Oh I like this. I'm not a big fan of fractal art, but every now and then one goes above and beyond.

Very impressive image Stan. I dont have most of those ingredients so wont even try it out. But we can enjoy your image in lieu. The white texture looks like a sculpture. This is amazing fractal work. Looks like a set of wings for an angel.

Well I will have to go do some shopping! At the fractal "have all the above" store of course!! Awesome image and render Stan. "Angelicus" seems like a very good title, but was waiting for the recipe to include such things as-- ice-cream. Fantastic colors and lighting here.

For some reason, this image reminds me of a medical atlas, as if it were showing a pelvic bone with the flesh set aside for a more anatomical view. But not in a gory way, rather like those beautiful illustrative artworks that expensive medical books tend to have. I like this. Love the alchemical recipe for the Angelicus! This is a precious one.

I'm so glad you were able to get all the above ingredients to make this wonderful image. I had a hunt around but can't come close to finding those things I'm afraid, so I will just sit back and enjoy your fractal. It has a wonderful depth to it, and has great shapes and a splendid centerpiece. Excellent work.

this is fantastic, I find myself staring at it. I'm so glad you collected the right ingredients, I wouldn't have wanted to miss this creation.
