The Band Shell
I grew up in Chicago, and one of the best things about summer were the free concerts the Chicago Symphony Orchestra gave at the band shell in Grant Park. And if I had to pick the “best of the best,” it would definitely be their rendition of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture that they performed every 4th of July.
This fractal reminds of the great curves of the band shell and the fireworks the city always provided for the 4th of July. I guess you could count those as another set of things I actually miss about Chicago.
I was apparently quite enthralled with whichever program I was using to create these fractals (Apophysis or Chaoscope… not really sure which), as I’ve got a whole folder full of them. I just changed my desktop background to this one today. It reminds me of those ear horns you see old people using in cartoons. Unfortunately, I saved them all at 72ppi (or the higher resulution ones got eaten when one of my computers died).
