Like a Circle in a Spiral

Description

Round, like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel.
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel...
-lyrics from The Windmills of Your Mind

I love the lyrics of this song, they're so complex and picturesque. And could refer to almost anything: cyclicity, unrequited love, not being able to forget painful memories... or maybe it's about the Universe? Time?

The upper fractal was rendered in the 3D Hack of Apophysis, while the lower was rendered in Apophysis 2.02. They're essentially the same fractal, however.

Ah! So this is what took forever and ever to render as you said in your Journal. ^^'

Am surprised though, since the design is very simple compared to the previous ones you posted. It does kinda remind me of the old days when I used to use Bryce and Vue D'Esprit. Rendering could literally take up to a day for super-complex scenes, so i was forced to keep the detail as simple (and hence crappy) as possible. -.-'

The fractal itself reminds me of the NATO symbol, rippling the surface of a pond after it's been unceremoniously tossed onto it.

Wow, my imagery sucks. I think I need sleep.... ^^;
