Fractal Wilson Loop - Area Law and Gauge Invariance in Next to Leading   Order
  We consider a fractal Wilson loop $<F_{P}>$ and present physical arguments why this should be a relevant observable in nature. We show for non-compact SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the next to leading order of strong coupling expansion that $<F_{P}>$ obeys an area law behavior and is gauge invariant.
