I live in a 1950's building with the original windows. When the tempurature dips below minus 25 my windows frost up and I pretty much know it's too damned cold. I took a closeup of the frost then cropped a portion out of that. Some fun with Topaz Detail and we have ourselves ...ummm something ..

That's awesome Raiven, it never ceases to amaze me how the patterns of frost are so closely related to ferns and other leave structures, sort of leads me to ponder the idea of a universal mathematical equation underlying everything:confused:

Lol, it's more 'Adamsy-' 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything, from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Copy and paste this question into your google search engine:
Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything?

You're right, I remember now :) For some reason I was thinking Python :confused:

Have you never heard of the golden ratio - Golden ratio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio)

It's a really magical number and completely controls the growth of many things in nature. Enjoy the read...
