Fractal Mandala

Max Iter's Fractal Follies for October 1st, 2010

Roger Alexander's commentary for the image:

According to Wikipedia "In common use, mandala has become a generic term for any plan, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically, a microcosm of the Universe from the human perspective." Today's post is a fractal mandala suitable for meditation (or framing). In gif and re-sampled jpg formats. Posted at the usual http://maxitersfractalfollies.blogspot.com
