Daze of our lives...

All sorts of nonsense happens in the course of the day... good, bad, indifferent... whatever. Thoughts spring to mind, shit happens, things work out, but often don't... usually I have no idea of what's going to happen beforehand and perhaps its better that way. Anyway, just a little of what's going on and a way of clearing my mind... Read on at your own risk.

OK, not all that much to tell... just a slightly insane, very tired but reasonably perceptive guy who's life is filled with "why's" and never knowing why...

Fractals on Friday

Todays fractals are all taken from the same base image, generated by a complex trigonometric equation in Tierazon. It was quite an extraordinary journey for me this time, down into the depths of wildness and confusion only to discover that the ultimate destination of my trip was a simple field of pastel gradients.

Magnification: 90x

The initial chaos of colour subsided quite quickly after some magnification. There's a kind of disturbed elegance here, promising much but hiding even more I suspect.


Magnification: 2,600x

Diving into one of the main spirals, one of the major themes is replicated endlessly, almost neurotically.


Magnification: 500,000x

A couple of subthemes arise, stalks and branches grow along the extremities, dendrites reach out somewhat inconclusively and loose pentagrammic spirals slow down the descent.


Magnification: 3,200,000x

This is one of my favourites in the series, many different tints of blue floating quietly in a sea of possibilities.


Magnification: 96,300,000x

Looking dangerous like a poisonous plant, with colours dark and brooding yet also offering the seeds of something new and exciting.


Magnification: 1,437,000,000x

Suddenly a rainbow appears in the gloom, opening a new path which was hidden between the fronds, to lead me to a place where silence and harmony are to be found.


Magnification: 30,000,000,000x

Quite a surprise here. I often find pinpoints of quietness within the mathematical mayhem I produce, but I loved the gentle simplicity of this one. In a way this whole excursion has been a useful allegorical exercise for me, offering me some encouragement at a moment I needed it.

Keep well...

That's brilliant. And I know what you mean about the allegory. Who'd have thought such peace could come from such chaos x
