[Fractint] FOTD 25-03-07 (FOTD for Mar 25, 2007 [Rating 7-1/2)

24 Mar 2007

      FOTD -- March 25, 2007 (Rating 7-1/2)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image is once again the product of the MandelbrotBC2 
formula.  It was created by iterating the formula Z^(1.618)+C at 
a level 16 turns up the logarithmic ladder.  The parent fractal 
is a Mandeloid with its flat-topped period-2 bud facing east-
northeast instead of west.  Today's scene lies in a tiny bit of 
cut-off debris just beyond the butt end of the Mandeloid.

Though I did not take time to think up a clever name for the 
image, I did decide it is worth a rating of a 7-1/2.  (Nothing 
is wrong with fractional ratings.)  Coincidentally, the image 
renders in 7-1/2 minutes.  Not coincidentally, for those who do 
not calculate parameter files, the completed image is posted on 
the FOTD web site at:

Heavy clouds, a chilly temperature of 48F 9F, and occasional 
showers of rain kept the outdoor conditions unpleasant here at 
Fractal Central on Saturday.  The fractal cats passed the day 
trying to get an extra treat for nothing.  They did not succeed. 
My day was busier than average.  I expect Sunday to be the same. 
The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, 
and be as free as a fractal.
