FOTD -- December 22, 2006 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal image was created when 10 parts of Z^(0.1) were added to Z^(1.5). The parent fractal is a fairly conventional Mandelbrot set rotated about 45 degrees. Some of it is missing however. The large period-2 bud is totally obliterated, along with much of the southwestern shoreline of the large bay. The northeast part of the set is fairly intact however, and today's image is located in some debris flung off from the northeastern period-5 radical. The image was done in an entirely conventional manner, with the inside set to the number zero and the outside set to the itera- tion count. The unusual effect is entirely due to the coloring and the naturally odd shapes of the iteration bands. Not overly impressed by the final result, I gave the image neither name nor rating. But it is worth at least a brief look, and its calculation time of just over 1 minute is probably faster than the time required to view the completed image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Thursday started with light rain here at Fractal Central, but by noon the rain had ended and the sun appeared. The temperature reached a relatively mild 45F 7C. The fractal cats spent the day inside, batting around ornaments they knocked off the deco- rated tree. Cats who do not go outside do not worry themselves about the weather. My day was rather busy, mostly with seasonal stuff. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be lucky.
