Fractals?

On the south side of the house, the view is into lots of oak trees. After they drop their leaves, they present a complex array of limbs, branches and twigs. You could say that the arrangement follows the idea of fractals, “a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole” according to the dictionary on my Mac. To me, the scene I saw tonight is simply a beautiful arrangement of a life form against a deep blue sky. And that is very satisfying.
