I am fond of looking for both mechanical and natural fractals. They make for interesting photographic subjects. I see them everyday on 365, but I would like to someday see them as a theme. I know, I know, one must earn the right to choose the theme, and believe me, every weekly winner (even the top five each week) are exceedingly deserving. But since I am fairly sure I will never be in that hallowed place, I am throwing it out there to those who are winners in every way.
Don't get bogged down in the idea that fractals are mathematics, instead look at them as repeated shapes.
"From clouds to coastlines, snowflakes to seashells, fractals are everywhere in our environments. They’re also prevalent in the way humans have instinctively designed their habitats. In African architecture, circular houses appear in circles of circles, and rectangular houses in rectangles of rectangles. Yet despite having always been there before our eyes – often too close or too far to see – fractals are a modern scientific discovery"

I love fractals! When teaching I used to enjoy being in the Maths rooms where all sorts of posters drew your attention to those things that are obvious in nature. All you have to do is suggest that people label their photographs with the same word and a whole collection will appear from all over the world. If we all use the tag (fractals) without the brackets then in no time there'll be a fun collection. Lots of challenges have happened in the past and they can run alongside themes or not as the photographer plans. I seem to remember doing the alphabet and number challenge as well as whatever the themes were during those days....
so let's do it.
