Color and Texture

Broadmoore Audubon Sanctuary, Natick Massachusetts:
Fractals in nature. Color. Texture. Shadow. Pattern. Space.


Nature is fractal at many levels. At a macro level this image emphasizes the overlapping shape and color of Lillypads on water. The space surrounding the Lillypads is broken up with the random distribution of grass and algae floating on the pond. If the identity of the plants over powers the broken geometry try examining the space between these objects to see an even richer fractal texture and geometry.
