I've had an interest in fractals for a while now, although I can't remember where I first heard of them. That's not to say I understand them, but I love looking at computer generated fractals...the colors and shapes are hypnotizing. There are several programs you can download that create them without having to know a thing about them.

On this page I'll post some I've created...or have yet to create. Two are here already: the sparkly backgrounds are fractals. Here are a few others I've generated with the program Fractal eXtreme.

Below is a beautiful book on fractals by someone who is sometimes called the father of fractals, Benoit B. Mandelbrot. The cover alone is worth buying it for.
