Fractals are beautiful computer generated images
Fractals are drawn by your computer with a little help from advanced mathematics. The great thing is, you can easily create your own fractals without understanding math. Fractal images can be made by use of easy to use, free computer programs.
This easy guide helps you on your way to fractal heaven.
Fractals - the basics
The same formular can generate different images depending on the parameters used and the zoom level applied.
There are a lot of different formulas, all giving different, fantastic looking images.
Fractals are rooted in chaos theory, and because of their unpredictable (not really, but they look unpredictable) nature they are great for organic looking artwork and landscapes.
Enjoy these images
Large enough for use as wall papers

Wow, this is great. This is first I have heard of fractals. I will have to try the software. Five stars and a favorite.

in reply to 0ctavias0fferings A natural explanation can be that many fractal patterns are similar to patterns in nature, and possibly the Paisley patterns are inspired by nature? (I am not really an expert on Paisley patterns).

I am constantly amazed how similar to ancient weaving and embroidery some fractals are, particularly something like the Paisley pattern which was popular in Victorian times. 5*
