More snowcapped mountains.

New Series, Brr. Lots of white, vaguely reminiscent of snowcapped mountains.

Again, mostly pictures without words. I am not going to try to explain how I generated these. If anyone is interested, send me a message or leave a comment.

As for meaning and emotions, I leave that to the viewer to decide. Personally, I enjoy winter mountain sports. So despite the messy chaotic nature of these images, I find them optimistic. I long for the winter to come and the snow to start falling.

Leave a comment on what you see.

The previous images in this series were mostly created a month ago. The final touches, the finishing was done a week ago. As was the selecting, sorting, ordering, to put them into a series.

I have stopped describing the algorithms that generate these. I feel every one of these images deserves some words. But what is there to say? When I try to explain something, I end up just stating the obvious. So what follows is mostly just pictures without words.

If you have any questions about anything, just ask in the comments. I will explain as best I can.

I love these messy chaotic images. I know they are not for everyone's taste. But I find them fascinating. I encourage you to look closely and discover the fine details.

I mentioned that I consider these constructive. That I apply selected formulas, and colors, to achieve a desired effect. I am getting better at doing that, but often the effect comes with side effects.

Here I started with everything expanding out radially from the lower left quadrant. Then I got the color dialed in. Mostly black and white, which makes the blue pop, with a little complementary rust on the left. Then I got the details on the left side, the streaking, the contrails, the 'eye of the storm'.

After many attempts, either I gave up, or after studying it long enough I discovered it was actually perfect as it, or the universe was telling me this is the way it must be. In truth, now I have no desire to change any of it.

My program is set up to apply effects (formulas) globally. I am working on modifications to apply effect to isolated areas. It is not there yet, and I am having plenty of fun as-is.

The faux-fractal formulas of the previous series, along with some new ones, become tools of algorithmic art. They are operations to apply to create an effect.

I have stopped posting coordinates and formulas. In fact I have stopped keeping track of them. I still have the program code for all of these. If you are interested, just ask in the comments and I will try to provide information.

Today I start posting the Storm series.

In the previous series, Sequence Fractals V, I declared that any mathematical significance was gone. I continued to post formulas and images with "if you do this then that happens" type of commentary. Leaning towards the explore side of the explore/construct scale.

Now I move to the construction side of the scale and embrace the chaos. "Storm" seems like the perfect theme.
