[Fractint] FOTD 06-11-12 (Fractal Warming [7])

6 Nov 2012

      FOTD -- November 06, 2012 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's little oddity lies in the parent fractal that appears 
when the expression Z^(2.12)+C is iterated at ground level with 
no function applied.  This parent is shaped like a squashed 
Mandeloid with a large main bay and a large period-2 bud on the 
north shore line.  Today's scene lies in a minor valley on the 
west side of this bud.

I named the image "Fractal Warming" because of the fiery reds 
surrounding the central minibrot, and also because of a recent 
show on TV about the dangers, real or imagined, of 'climate 
change'.

The rating of a 7 is near FOTD average.  Some extra effort on 
the coloring might have raised the rating a point or so.

The calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes is well within reason.  A 
bit of additional time might be saved by viewing the image on 
one or more of the web sites.

The image has already been calculated and posted to the official 
FOTD web site at:

A mix of sun and clouds, with a temperature of 45F +7C made 
today feel quite like November here at Fractal Central.  Fractal 
cat Nicholas took advantage of the sun when it was shining and 
his food dish when it was not.  The humans made it through 
election day without becoming too concerned over who might be 
the winner.  Regardless of who wins, the next FOTD will be 
posted in the near future.  Until whenever, take care, and 
climate change (aka global warming) is real!  It has already 
begun!  We had better believe it and start preparing!  Do not 
make the error of thinking we can stop it or even slow it by 
forcing a few controversial bills through congress or by signing 
a few emission reduction treaties that are sure to be violated.
