Title: Fractals in Google Earth
Post by: bib on April 20, 2010, 02:20:12 PM
Hi
Not sure if this had been posted before. Playing with Google Earth is an easy way to discover the beauty of fractals in nature...

Why not launch a contest of the best fractal picture from Google Earth? ;)

Yes, there are so many wonderful and unique images of this planet.  And the photos shot from space can be quite fascinating indeed.  One could spend several days (if not weeks) just viewing such graphics.

Appreciate the links and images!!!   :)
