Caturday's Astrophenia | Of Fractals & Ricky

G'day, O Fine Hominines! This week has been interesting, as I'm experimenting with studying all three of the languages I'm learning in the same week; it's one language per day at least, more than one on the day or days after if I miss one. So this Sunday, I'm devoting equal time to each of Tamil, Bangla, and Hindi, plus getting in a couple of hours of writing. Here, I'll post thumbnails of recent Mandelbulber v.2 images. These are some of the better ones produced, and more will be added, and uploaded, as those improve in quality:
