I continue to be amazed by such wonders!
Sharing some new amazing finds at this moment. Enjoy!
A fractal is generally "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,"[1] a property called self-similarity. The term was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning "broken" or "fractured."

So beautiful, Mila. Isn't it interesting that the term derives from the Latin for broken or fractured, yet the images have a huge centering effect. And the whole (original) is not usually broken (up) at all, but reduplicated.

Aha, self-similarity it is! Thanks Ruth for stopping by and dropping a comment. Hugs!
