Beauty lies in the details
The inflorescence of Romanesco broccoli or Romanesque cauliflower for the Macro Mondays challenge "defining beauty". The quote I have chosen to accompany the photo is:
"The world is complex. That complexity is beautiful." - Ward Cunningham.
Each bud is composed of a series of smaller buds, each arranged in a logarithmic spiral. Mathematicians use the term fractal to describe a curve or geometrical figure, each part of which has the same statistical character as the whole. In Romanesco broccoli, the pattern is only an approximate fractal since the pattern eventually terminates when the feature is sufficiently small. For more information see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanesco_broccoli
HMM! Happy new week!
I am very grateful for the kind comments and faves. Thanks for visiting.
