Double-crested cormorants in flight at sunrise, long exposure produces a blurred motion. Image ID: 15280 Species: Double-crested cormorant, Phalacrocorax auritus Location: La Jolla, California, USA	Beautiful underwater sunburst, glittering light through the ocean surface, Sea of Cortez, Baja California, Mexico. Image ID: 27562 Location: Sea of Cortez, Baja California, Mexico	Snow geese at sunrise. Thousands of wintering snow geese take to the sky in predawn light in Bosque del Apache's famous "blast off". The flock can be as large as 20,000 geese or more. Long time exposure creates blurring among the geese.

		$Detail within the Mandelbrot set fractal. This detail is found by zooming in on the overall Mandelbrot set image, finding edges and buds with interesting features. Fractals are complex geometric shapes that exhibit repeating patterns typified by self-similarity, or the tendency for the details of a shape to appear similar to the shape itself. Often these shapes resemble patterns occurring naturally in the physical world, such as spiraling leaves, seemingly random coastlines, erosion and liquid waves. Fractals are generated through surprisingly simple underlying mathematical expressions, producing subtle and surprising patterns. The basic iterative expression for the Mandelbrot set is z = z-squared + c, operating in the complex (real, imaginary) number set, Mandelbrot set$
