FOTD 23-06-10 (Gear World) - Great fractal Jim, you give it a 6, I give it a 10. I like it not just because of
the design which is quite eye pleasing but also the understanding that it was generated by a fractal algorithm
and that particular form is new to me. Keep up the good work. Now for  today's post. Another  before and after pair.
The original gif in Fractint format the second an anti-aliased jpg. Filamentous - Having the form of threads or filaments.
Good ole Wiktionary your 24/7 online source of authorative definitions.
Both gifs and jpgs are waiting for you at http://maxitersfractalfollies.blogspot.com
