[Fractint] FOTD 10-11-07 (Incomprehensible [No Rating])

10 Nov 2007

      FOTD -- November 10, 2007 (No Rating)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's FOTD is late because I had no chance to finish it on 
time.  But here it is in all its hasty glory -- a scene 
picturing a 'minibrot' in the 'East Valley' of the Z^(1.7)+C 
Mandeloid as it appears 44 levels up the logarithmic ladder.

Since it took me only 2 minutes to find the image, I could give 
it no rating.  The name "Incomprehensible" describes my 
impression of the world of fractals.

The calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes will cause no impatience. 
And as always, the finished image is available on the FOTD web 
site.  But due to the lateness of this posting, give Paul a 
chance to render and post the image before visiting the site, 
which may be accessed at:

Heavy clouds, light rain and chilly temperatures made Friday one 
of the more unpleasant days here at Fractal Central.  The 
fractal cats were so put off by the conditions that they didn't 
even bother to look for the pigeons that sometimes peck for food 
on the sidewalk.  (BTW, what food do pigeons find on pavements 
that is nourishing enough to keep them so healthy?)

My day was unexpectedly busy, but tomorrow will be slower.  The 
next FOTD will appear in only 12 hours.  Until then, take care, 
and when time ends, will fractals still exist?
