I find the second link inspiring, plus I like hexagonal shapes.

I think I was just exposed to the N1H1 virus?! :o

Cool images. The BBC series UFO did an episode about satellite photography. They showed actual images of micro electronic photography. Considering the series was filmed in 1969 and 1970, I thought it was cool.

Fascinating stuff. Makes you think, though. What if our everyday world of mountains, rivers, buildings, trees, people and Peter Mandelson is just a blown up version of a smaller molecular world (with the rudimentary Mandelson aberration, thrown in like a malignant spanner). And perhaps there's a bigger version where galaxys are the molecules. In each progressively bigger scale version the building blocks, fundamental patterns and geometrical arrangements are identical, however things are progressively more perfectly formed, so no Mandelson there then.

There is a word for this in German, which does not translate well into english.  ;)
We live in a fractal algorithm, where infinity is multiplied by one; endless scale.
