Introduction:  The time has come when the shadows begin to grasp more of the world
within their darkness.  Nature surrenders herself to the first hints of Winter's bitter embrace and
the world begins to change.  The earth rattles as dead leaves rain from the sky and the harvest
gives way to the wicked pursuits of the rising dead.  For a single night the living and the dead
share the same world and there is no certainty of a dawn on the horizon.

Fractals in Nature or Nature in FractalsHere is a Feature as part of the :iconcommunityrelations: Project Educate: Fractals Week 2011!
By now you may be knowing what Fractals are...so many other features here explained it clearly...so I'm not going to define it....
In one of his speeches, Mandel Brot, Father of Fractals, explains how he construct the geometry of things which have no geometry....
..ie, shape of Clouds, shape of Coast lines, shape of trees etc...He named it as Fractal geometry!
Self similarity is the main characteristic feature of these naturally occurring things around us...If you observe the structure of our Lungs,
structure of our Nervous System & Structure of Blood vessels we can see this phenomenon.
So we can say that we are breathing through our Fractal Lungs!!! Our blood is flowing through Fractal Veins etc...
In short Fractals are there in nature and we Fractalists try to create nature through Fractals using different Fractal generating programs....
Here are some examples....
