Title: World's largest fractal!
Post by: matsoljare on December 16, 2009, 11:37:53 PM
Nine miles, how about that?  O0

It could be a bit more complex, but it sure looks accurate....

idk, it 'looks' photoshopped

but interesting, how did they get those circles to be perfect like that at such a large scale...

Next time you are walking on the shores of a beach, or hanging out on a dry lake bed, think about what patterns you could draw with a stick or rake.  To give you some more ideas on that subject, try viewing the various sub-topics at Jim Denevan's web site:

There are several more interesting images from his web page links..

Nice images, I like the scale of them. It must be good to get paid for doing stuff like that on the beach on a nice day, but certainly a great deal of patience and a meditative sensibility required.

I hope they do get paid!!!  I imagine the expense for water, food, gasoline, and other needs for those really big drawings is rather high.  Not to mention the cost for all of that sun-lotion.    ;)    :D
