The First of Many


I found this planetoid relaxing in a cracked mudscape outside my cottage. It took a few days to notice how interesting it was actually. If you click on the image and zoom in, the cracks on the surface of the orb reveal themselves to be fractals of the cracked earth upon which it sits.

This example of a fractal does not compare to Lake Taal in the Philippines www.newscientist.com/blog/environment/2007/06/fractal-environments.html but it does have the advantage of being closer to home.

Entry No. One: A wacky planetoid, for your viewing pleasure...
