[Fractint] FOTD 18-04-11 (Belief in the Outcome [4])

17 Apr 2011

      FOTD -- April 18, 2011 (Rating 4)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image rates a 4.  But this is on the new scale.  On the 
old scale it would rate a respectable 6.  The name "Belief in 
the Outcome" means whatever the fractal fan wishes.

The actual image shows a minibrot rather deep in the parent 
fractal that results when the formula Z^(1.75)+C is iterated 
just one level down the logarithmic ladder.

This parent fractal is a lopsided thing squashed on the X-axis, 
with one large mis-shaped bud on the north side and two buds on 
the south side.  Today's scene is located in a kind of East 
Valley of an out-of-place but large minibrot just inland of the 
northeast shore line of the main bay.

The calculation time of 8-1/2 minutes is admittedly more than 
the image is worth.  The way out of this dilemma is to view the 
already-calculated image on the FOTD web site at:

and in high definition at:

The classic FOTD web site, with all the past images, may still 
be accessed at:

though I would not count on it being there forever.

After Saturday's downpour, Sunday's scattered heavy clouds 
seemed fair indeed here at Fractal Central.  The temperature of 
59F 15C was spoiled by a strong wind however, which made it feel 
quite chilly in the open.  The fractal cats chased the sun 
during the times it was out, and slept when the clouds moved in. 
The humans took it easy most all day.

The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take 
care, and rational thinkers believe in quarks, which no one has 
seen, and at the same time, do not believe in ghosts, which many 
have seen.  I guess it's all in the mind.
