Wormhole Entrance

Another batch of amazing fractal flames created by Webshots member Rajahh using Apophysis–a freeware Windows application with which you can design and render fractal flames. According to The Apophysis Wiki and Flam3, Fractal Flames were created by Scott Draves in 1992 and are an “extension of the iterated function system class of fractals”.
