[Fractint] FOTD October 18, 2009 (Simply Outstanding [8.5])

18 Oct 2009

      FOTD -- October 18, 2009 (Rating 8.5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Little can be said about today's image, which must be seen to be 
believed.  Unmatched in its extravagance, it is truly an image, 
that speaks for itself.

The parent fractal also must be seen to be believed.  The most 
incredible part of this Mandelbrot set parent is that only half 
of it is there.  The western half has moved on to a higher 
dimension, and has been replaced by a field of scattered stars 
and planets.

Today's image is located just beyond the large period-5 bud 
on the northwest shore line of the main bay of the parent 
half-M-set, almost exactly on the line where the M-set is 
vanishing.  It is located a curious area of chaos in the East 
Valley of a larger minibrot.

There is so much of interest in the image that I failed to find 
a single theme in it that might inspire a name.  I finally named 
it "Simply Outstanding", which says it all. 

Actually, the colors of the image are a bit too disorganized to 
earn a top rating.  The rating of 8-1/2 is high enough however.

The chief drawback is the calculation time of over 22 minutes, 
though this time may be cut to a minute or so by viewing the 
finished image on the FOTD web site at:

       <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

But due to the odd hour of this posting, give Paul a chance to 
get it posted on the site.

Heavy clouds and a steady cold rain mixed with a few snowflakes 
left Saturday a day with much to be desired here at Fractal 
Central.  The fractal cats were so disgusted that they passed 
most of the day squatted down and sulking.

Except for the better-than-expected fractal, my day was 
uneventful.  The next FOTD will be posted in 8 hours, more or 
less.  Until then, take care, and when the going gets tough, get 
tough and get going.
