Welcome, sakuo! Please come again!

Fractals are made from mathematical equations. You can travel deeper and deeper into any part of them, and instead of becoming less detailed they continue to show great detail. Fractals can be found in nature: Leaves, coastlines, rising smoke, clouds...as well as in other things that SEEM to be random: oil flowing through a pipe, planetary systems, animal populations, etc. They are very fascinating.

I love fractals! The first one here, reminds me of a Mayan black jaguar. Very cool. Why is it I don't come here more often?

I've been remiss, but I'll be changing that as of right now.
