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," a property called self-similarity."
Because they appear similar at all levels of magnification, fractals are often considered to be infinitely complex. Natural objects that approximate fractals to a degree include clouds, mountain ranges, lightning bolts, coastlines, and snow flakes.

Tiny Dancer (for example)...
For a couple of posts I am going to just put up some stuff that I like with just a few (if any) words about why.
I like this for the change of mood that just happens (from really bad to really good) and how good (and singing along with the radio?) is like being home.
