Reverse Hourglass (and other fractals)

The last image has a name: Reverse Hourglass. The others are just images!


They were all made by me, a complete fractal novice, using the cutest (and free) little program called Apophysis. It's super adictive, so I'm sure more fractal posts will follow...you don't mind do you?


Yours in fractality,

Marking Time

from here...again

This is just to keep me (and hopefully you) occupied while I struggle to synthesize some of Mr Cantor's work...back to the infinity mini-series soon!

Generating Fractals in Excel

Being interested in fractals recently, I found this web-page...Haven't completely finished working through the process, so I can't promise it works easily, but the Maths behind it is extremely interesting...It does involve complex numbers, so when I have the energy I will post a little something about that too! In the meantime, if you have plenty of bandwidth then try it out...

Fractals

Fractals are one of the few visual tastes of infinity available to us...

And amazingly, they are present in astonishing quantities throughout nature...

Furthermore, certain fractals seem so very simple...

 Though maybe not this one!
