Getting closer, are you? But are you really?

Like in dreams, you can keep going forward and never quite reach a destination, because there is always more ahead, something new that you haven’t seen before.

Space

Fractals

The fourth is a an animation called Blue Spiral Oyster Fractal Zoom, showing the infinite detail inherent in fractals, accompanied by imaginative music.

Planets and Stars

Found on transbuddha. Music from the song “Such Great Heights” by The Postal Service.
