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.
