Fractals are everywhere!!!they are as old as time is,but they will never make me get me bored,that's for sure!!!each fractal has a unique story to tell...we have a whole field of art here!by the way:isn't it amazing that when you look at a kaleidoscope,you will never see the same pattern repeated?:even though similar they are never identical.they might have only tiny diferrencies beetween them,but they are never the same still....untill you reach the end of combination possibilities of course...thanks for this cakebelly

happy you liked it - you know, if you have "GIMP" (freeware) you can mess about with fractals to your heart's content
