[Fractint] FOTD 28-02-12 (Ominous Foreboding [8])

28 Feb 2012

      FOTD -- February 28, 2012 (Rating 8)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image, a scene in one of the infinity of Z^(1.5)+C 
Mandeloids, rates an 8, in my opinion.  The parent fractal is a 
lumpy thing.  It has a large minibrot lying in a field of debris 
just southwest of its main body.  This minibrot vaguely 
resembles a Mandelbrot set with its west half cut off and two 
East Valleys instead of one.  Today's image lies in one of the 
two East Valleys of this minibrot.

The rating of an 8, which includes a full point for the 
coloring, might be a bit too liberal for an image with such a 
dark aura.  The rating is based mostly on the effect of 
sunlight breaking through dark clouds, though the 'sun' is 
actually only a minibrot.

The name "Ominous Foreboding" expresses the dark, threatening 
feeling that the image somehow brings.

The calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes will pass quickly by 
fractal standards, where calculation times of hours or days are 
common.  And the FOTD web sites can eliminate even this brief 
wait.

Save time and energy.  Visit the official FOTD web site at:

where the image has already been calculated and is posted in 
finished form.

Total sun and a mild temperature of 48F +9C made today an 
unusually pleasant end-of-February day here at Fractal Central.  
The fractal cats, who never worry about the outdoor conditions, 
were quite happy with the weather, and spent most of the 
afternoon stretched out in the sun on their shelf.  With too 
much repetitious things to do, we humans rarely get to stretch 
out in the sun.  We spent the day doing stuff too ordinary to be 
worth mentioning.

The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take 
care, and if everything is an illusion as mystics say, then the 
realization that everything is an illusion must also be an 
illusion.  And of course, it follows logically that the above 
sentence must also be an illusion.
