Romanesco splash

Throwing an romanesco into an aquarium..

 

I really like romanesco because of its fractal pattern.. Some info from Wikipedia:

 

"Fractal pattern

The head of Romanesco broccoli is a visually striking example of an approximate fractal in nature. The pattern is only an approximate fractal since the pattern eventually terminates when the feature size becomes sufficiently small. In computer graphics, its pattern has been modeled as a recursive helical arrangement of cones.

 

Fibonacci series

The number of spirals on the head of Romanesco broccoli is a Fibonacci number. "
