In the simplest terms, fractal images are a geometric patterns composed of the same or nearly the same pattern (a triangle made of smaller triangles). Flames are a "class" of fractals with certain specific characteristics, specifically the use of color and shading and the way the pattern is repeated. To create fractal flames, however, you don't need to be a mathematician, but understanding them helps to appreciate them. These Flames were all created using a free-ware program, Apophosis, that I have been using for years. It never ceases to amaze me when I take the time to look at some of these images.
