This one I did with Chaoscope. Not an especially intuitive program, but there are a lot of features so I need to play with it a lot more. This is just a quick first-time rendering.

Fractals are one of my several obsessions.  It pleases me to share them with you.

Benoit Mandelbrot...

coined the term "fractal" in 1975.

Many important spatial patterns of Nature are either irregular or fragmented to such an extreme degree that... classical geometry... is hardly of any help in describing their form. ...

[Mandelbrot, "Fractals," 1977]
