[Fractint] FOTD 01-06-04 (Scene of Discovery [5])

1 Jun 2004

      FOTD -- June 01, 2004 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Believe it or not, today's image is a view of the chaos along 
the shoreline of what remains of Seahorse Valley of the 
Z^(2.01,0.03)+C Mandeloid.  For some reason known only to the 
higher authority, the buds have choked off and changed into 
distorted quadratic midgets, while curious new open areas have 
appeared, in the form of round holes connected by tooth-like 
spirals to infinity.

I have named the image "Scene of Discovery".  After all, it is 
at least a minor discovery.  The two circular areas in the left 
half of the image, along with the tooth-spiral connecting them, 
form one of the more unusual hole complexes I have found in the 
world of fractals.

Even with the maxiter of 15000, the edge of the valley, on the 
upper right, is not fully defined.  But the render time of 48 
minutes is already unreasonably long, so I decided to be 
satisfied with less than full definition.

Since I can see nothing really above average in the artistic 
aspect of the image, I have rated it at a 5.  The slow render 
time reduces the overall value to an unexceptional 10.  
Considering all this, the best way to view the scene is to let 
Paul render it and post it to the FOTD web site at:

Clouds, cool temperatures in the 60'sF (around 18C), and 
occasional light rain kept the fractal cats indoors and the 
cicadas quiet here at Fractal Central on Monday.  The cats 
cheered up in the evening when they had their treat of tuna; the 
cicadas cheered up this morning when they saw the sun and warmer 
temperatures.

I'll cheer up when the latest pile of work is behind me.  Until 
next FOTD, take care, and don't be too busy to enjoy the fractal 
side of life.
