A student in Colorado, looking for some sort of synthesis--the big picture, encompassing all the strangeness in the universe--but willing to settle for the philosophic or poetic lens.
After blogging about my experiences earlier this week, I had crows on the brain. So, as I went drifting through fractal sets, trying to come up with something for this week’s Friday Fractal (now a Saturday Set), I kept running across crow-like shapes. One in particular stuck out, perhaps because I found it while adjusting the parameters of a set labeled "flight". It seemed like a crow caught in a superposition of states... one of Schroedinger’s crows, perhaps. Is it a perched crow, glaring down at its foe? Or is it a crow in flight, wings beating furiously against the wind? Before you decide, this fractal crow exists in both states. (Since they turned on the LHC this week, this seemed rather fitting, as well.)
So, here you have it... a superpositioned murder of crows:

I was looking for fractals, and I found in your blog!It's very interesting, and I liked it. If you want contact me, send me a e-mail. I would like to talking about poetry and philosophy with you.

I discovered a fractal image years ago that looks like two Christmas trees engaged in psychic warfare. Unfortunately the formula has long since been forgotten.
