Description In 25 years of creating fractals, this one has amazed me like no other. I am not talking about what you see here but the entire fractal, much of what still remains to be discovered. I always felt that fractals are spiritual. I have always believed that at any moment, God's face might appear or some amazing thing would be revealed. The totality of this fractal is truley mind blowing! I'll try to reveal more of it as I am able. What does this symbol represent and what is out there waiting to be discovered? No post work. Sterlingware2.

I went very, very deep to find this - actually 3 days hunting. We fractalists are like photographers, we don't really create anything, we just find the image that exists when certain numbers come together. Then we just choose the portion we want to show.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings and thanks to my friend Jennifer for telling me I needed to turn over a new stone and find a new, fresh approach.

Tom

I shared this on my small facebook group, I hope you don't mind. I love this one for two reasons. It's an amazingly beautiful fractal, and possibly one of the best artist comments I've read as of yet.

...Wow. Never again will I look at a fractal in the same way. This is amazing. What a great find. (Sorry for the stilted sentences, but I simply can't think of what to say.) Great job, and congratulations on the DD.

Truley Amazing!!! Does Sterlingware have an animation feature? I'm imagining this thing moving... Love the fractalization in the upper left detail.

You know what I see?
I see the temple of a snake god, somebody powerful that hasn't fully come to discover his power yet. A god still in his own creation.
Hence why the lines look like snakes when coming out of the front door of the temple but turn into the scribbles of a child after they changed direction at the front.
All this takes place somewhere in this universe, in a place that is under free sky, you can see millions of stars on the upper left corner...

A snake God? Hmmmmmm.

Narkya In reply to TomWilcox [2010-03-26 20:02:05 +0000 UTC]

Yes... one of many possibilities...
And that's one of the reasons why I love fractals.
