NASA was obliging enough to offer up this already-interesting photo (of France)  in a hi-res/square crop version ...

Just checking out my newly formatted, configured computer. Everything seems to be working again, actions, LR export presets etc. etc. etc. |

| Somehow the images in the video on this page reminded me of the fun we had here in January. |

I think it depends on what you do with the fractal-generating software ... I have a few examples I thought had a decent "feel" to them at the beginning of this gallery ... but I agree that this technique produces really cool results! |
There is a certain clean beauty in the precision of fractal art, as your designs clearly show. IMO the images we are creating here take their inspiration from fractal geometry but take advantage of the often-random energy of creativity--they seem much richer, more individualistic, a more direct expression of the human who is operating the computer. So I like them better. I like they way my mind interacts with the image as I create it. In 5 years I may look at these & marvel at my own primitive simplicity--or maybe I will think they are the best I have ever done, everything after was in reaction to it. Who knows?

Another one based on light trails. People say these remind them of fractals, & maybe that's true but fractals are perfect. These have a lovely organic feel to them that perfect fractals don't have. Often computer generated art has a kind of a perfect, un-organic feel to it that I don't much like. These are much more interesting. IMO.

Thanks -- that image is a true fractal generated with Apophysis, not the methods used in this thread. I have a few others in the Portfolio folder where these images are ... |

Just because the month is over doesn't mean I (or anyone) has to stop! As a side benefit, I tried uploading a bunch of these as Background/Texture images to my Shutterstock account and had several accepted, and one has been downloaded already. |
