There was a ancient ,evil and never extinguished spell:

anytime somebody would start to speaks (or write) about fractals, at first he would be able only to speak about Broccoli...and and after the Broccoli , Seashells

Only with a heroic efforts a few would find a third example, obviously always the same : Sunflower

It doesn't matter if the talk is in English, French, Russian , Arabic or even Swahili ,the rule remain the the same:
first the Broccoli,and if a next , Seashells.

But i hope to do this reportage may somehow broke the spell, remembering that Broccoli and Seashells (and additionally Sunflowers) are not the only fractals we may found in Nature

So i went out with my camera to provide more examples

Of course there are also fractal shapes and even fractal like form of life in the Ocean..here a example

And as below, in the Ocean Depths so above, up in the sky ,here some of the most commune

Here is an exception. I would think first of seashells THEN of broccoli. My third option would be Mandelbulb 3D but I'm biased. Excellent work as usual PC.

Thanks for the comments

Curious how to tend to chose unexpected uses , the original parameters where created to mainly to experiment the new option for reflex and transparency, to create shining glassy transparent objects

Instead i removed (except in the last 2 ) all possible reflex and transparency, wrapped in rust (with a huge Rust texture that i made seamless ) and dropped to rust even more in the dirt

But rusty leftover look so natural in the mud or along the shore of polluted rivers

I had a big satisfaction showing image 2 to a friend and asking if he could spot something fake
he was prompt to indicate the color of the sand too clearly over-saturated :rofl
