$A close-up view of a rugged rock face, showing layers of grey-blue, brown, and ochre-coloured rock with sharp angles and varying textures. The rock appears weathered and fractured, with some dry, spiky vegetation clinging to the crevices on the right side. The overall impression is one of natural strength and age.$

This image shows a dried seed pod, often referred to as a burr. It has a spiky, rough texture and is typically found in nature attached to plants. The background is a soft focus of greenery, suggesting it is in a natural setting.

The image shows a close-up of a tree trunk with carvings on it. The carvings appear to be shallow cuts or scratches, possibly made by a knife or another sharp object. The tree is in a forested area with low light, creating a shadowy atmosphere.

The image shows a piece of wood or a stick floating on water. The surface of the water reflects the intricate branches of trees, creating an intricate pattern. The overall mood is calm and natural.

[not my usual fare, but love the spatial mathematical components, although the maths is way over my head!]

$a) da Vinci’s sketch of a tree illustrates the principle that combined thickness is preserved at different stages of ramification. b) Transects A and B have the same combined thickness and so limbs a and b together must have the same thickness as c. This has been taken to imply that c) combined cross-sectional area (⁠πR²⁠) is preserved across branching. Likewise, d) such transects can count the number of branches n that have radius approximately r to derive a fractal scaling relationship. Source: (a) from Institut de France Manuscript M, p. 78v.$

The scaling exponent α (a) determines the amount of detail at a given resolution and (b) proportions among adjoining boughs.

$Trees in artwork across centuries, cultures, and styles exhibit fractal scaling. a) carved stone window screen of Sidi Saiyyed Mosque, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India (1573 CE). b) Cherry Blossoms, Matsumura Goshun (1752–1811), ink on paper. c) L’Arbre de Vie (Tree of life), Gustav Klimt (1909), oil on canvas. d) data and inference of α±95% CI in two replicate measurements for each work along with simulated and living trees. Dotted vertical lines indicate the cutoff for excluding small-scale effects. Diameters from simulated and living trees are divided by this minimum value and therefore the horizontal axis is unitless.$
