IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


An infinite series of numbers spiral downwards. The numbers become
indistinct then become chaos. The image is coloured to suggest the
sun, and shaped to suggest a vortex or blackhole.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


This is a simple picture. It consists of a single while loop to 
generate the spiral. The numbers are the current counter position
in the loop. You are at the top of the spiral looking down.

The mandelbrot is just a mandel pattern on a sphere


I have to say this is one of the least inspiring subjects I have
ever produced a picture for !
