PLAYING WITH FRACTALS

Busy day - tedious, (but important and well delivered) lecture in morning on elements of life threatening conditions and charity work to combat same---followed by graveyard funeral in afternoon; so things were not getting better and my creativity index was plummeting so in anger I shot a tree in the graveyard. Returning home with a great sense of guilt I resolved to make something of the tree skeleton so recalling an interesting paper on Fractals I was reading in the early morning (06oo hours, unable to sleep) Yes it was an interesting paper and I function best in the first hour of full consciousness! So the tree shot becomes an absorbing illustration of a fairly recent mathematical concept which helps describe our world in analytic terms; thus - Fractals, small geometric patterns which can be further divided into parts which are smaller copies of the whole - e.g tree branches are simple examples. So there is more to a tree than we see at first glance and I don't regret shooting this one as an example for you!
If you have managed to read to the end, Congratulations - you may go back to the picture now!
