THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR KIND COMMENTS ON MY PREVIOUS POSTS.
-----------------------------
Today we navigated a snaking labyrinth and traversed a vast plain as we
continue to painstakingly make our way across this somber fractal world.
More and more often, we find ourselves stumbling upon hulking masses of
derelict equipment (see attached image), abandoned for whatever reason by
the former inhabitants of this strange world. The questions on everyone's
mind are often hinted at, but seldom spoken of directly: What made the
inhabitants flee? And - perhaps a more disturbing consideration - are they
truly gone?
I often find my spine tingling and the hairs on the back of my neck rising
as we enter some of the deep shadows of this world. Sometimes I swear that
we are being watched.
Then there is the matter of our less-than-ideal navigating equipment. We all
volunteered for this mission, so no one can complain. But, as I watch our
commander making modifications to the formulas on his Mandelbulb Navigator
AiPad, I wonder each time he presses the button to recalculate if it will
bring us face-to-face with the denizens of this alien place, or catapult us
into one of the vast, empty expanses of fractal space, there to breathe our last
breath.

Mate this is different looks very metallic love the colours fantastic work my friend.
Impressive... Those records would make a fascinating novel or movie...
A fascinating read and i agree with Geoff different i love it superb work !!
Excellent work.
stunning artwork!
Ho, I like the way the light and shadows play in these forms. And the text is great as well! Well done, friend!
Fantastic image and lighting. Great story! Corrie
this is lovely done and story too is good
Cool. I like both, work and history.
beautiful cosmic fractal creation, looks great
I like the shiny, but to me it looks more organic than "made". Probably the green color that did that to me. What you say about exploring the fractals is spot on. Particularly in dreams, demons and monsters can hide in the smallest shadows, and the fractals are filled with hiding places. Go with a brave heart and be fearless (else you will soon be a slobbering idiot) . Nice job!!! I enjoyed what you had to say about exploring the unseen but very real.
Excellent image and story
