Real world fractals (as opposed to mathematical ones) have a limit at  
which they stop being fractal. If nothing else, the size of an atom  
is a limit to how far you can go.

What really makes a fractal a fractal is self-similarity at different  
magnifications. And the right side of 100_0527.jpg definitely has a  
fractal branching structure.
