Branching Dendrites
This award-winning aerial image by photographer Stuart Chape shows a tidal creek in Lake Cakora, New South Wales, Australia. At first glance, it looks much like any river delta, with branching dendritic paths that split into smaller and smaller waterways. That’s deceptive, though, because very different forces shape this creek. Because tides move in and out, a tidal creek is home to flows that move both directions — toward and away from the branches. That also means that flow speeds can change rapidly as the tides shift, which in turn changes which sediments get lifted, dropped, and moved around the creek bed. (Image credit: S.

Some crazy dancing #psychedelic #fractals I found pretty
Review of "How to Make Repeat Patterns" (5 stars): very visual-forward design-of-math book?
#Fractals possess infinite self-similarity, meaning that no matter how much you zoom in on a part of a fractal, you will find a smaller version of the whole, a property not found in Euclidean geometry.
Unlike traditional geometric shapes that have integer dimensions, fractals can have fractional dimensions, reflecting their intricate and complex structure that fills space in a way between typical lines, surfaces, and volumes.

Summertime done come and gone, my oh my
Got a new batch of fractal prints going into mats, getting ready for the Sandia Heights Artists Tour. I'll be sad when the Kodak Endura Metallic photo paper finally runs out of stock after being discontinued - it makes the fractals shine!
@standupmaths You wanted your viewers to share settings for fun Julia sets, but it's not possible to do that in YouTube comments, since it gets auto-deleted. Instead I'll do it here and as links to a fractal viewer I wrote myself two years ago. The links contain more parameters than just C, but also the color palette, threshold, iterations, zoom, and pan coordinates.
