Fractal Analysis

Some of the many crop formations have been said to resemble various fractal designs. Whilst the Mandlebrot and Julia set fractals are infinite, I have been exploring both to find links with crop formations.

The designs below are just a small sample of some of the designs I have found.

[image r0005a.jpg] A portion of the Mandlebrot set located at -4.11999e-03, -8.270512500e-1, extending for 1.123199e-2, 8.985599e-3 using 128 iterations.

This illustrates a similar general design to the 'Treble Julia set' crop formation discovered at Avebury Trusloe in 1996.
