Default Flame Fractals Desktop Wallpaper

http://content.techrepublic.com.com...11-33277-1.html

"Witness the beauty and elegance of mathematics with 50 breathtaking fractals. Webshots member rajah created these Fractal Flames with Apophysis--a freeware Windows application with which you can design and render fractal flames. According to http://apophysis.wikispaces.com/ and http://www.flam3.com/, Fractal Flames were created by Scott Draves in 1992 and are an "extension of the iterated function system class of fractals"."



This is completely off-topic, but I thought these were so cool they were worth posting - have a great weekend everyone!

Default Fractals

These are just beautiful...just as mathematics is beautiful as to how it makes things come together. It is like listening to Mozart.

There are so many fractals in nature...leaves, shells, flowers. So many things of beauty where we wonder how it could all come about; and then it turns out to be a mathematical construct. Interesting.
