Alpenglow

Named for its sheen and composition, "Alpenglow," stimulates the thoughts and minds and is one of my personal favorites of mine. The piece started out very different then what it ended up appearing to look like. The center of the print has been compared to a heart, the center of life that keeps this piece alive. While I was creating the fractal my intentions where to create somthing of an abstract yet, create a very likeness to a sunset or sunrise. The name "Alpenglow," comes from its likeness to sunrays and literally means "A rosy glow that suffuses snow-covered mountain peaks at dawn or dusk on a clear day."Now what I thought was interesting about the title of the fractal was its history. [Partial translation of German Alpenglühen : Alpen Alps + glühen, to glow.] Thanks to dicitonary.com for the translation! This one word I think helps to paint a glimps of what I was trying to portray. I hope you enjoy it!

Next fractal is "Amaglam"
