[Fractint] FOTD 30-12-04 (The Pit [6])

30 Dec 2004

      FOTD -- December 30, 2004 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image rates a 6 and is named "The Pit".  I gave it this 
name when I had a vague impression of looking down into a pit 
while studying the image.  The rating of a 6 seems fair.

The parent fractal is no single fractal at all.  It is a group 
of 2 large Mandeloids surrounded by fractal debris filled with 
baby M-sets.  Today's scene is located in the East Valley of the 
large Mandeloid on the right.

The rating of a nominal 6 and the render time of just under 11 
minutes gives the image an overall worth of 55.  Rendering may 
be avoided by downloading the completed GIF file from the FOTD 
web site at:

The philosophy of the day appears in the philofractal version of 
this discussion.

Warm sun and a temperature of 57F 14C made conditions near 
perfect for the fractal duo on Wednesday.  The high point of 
their outing came when Tippy caught a late cricket on the porch 
and brought it to the door to show what he had done, while 
Thomas watched with little interest.  Today is starting warm 
again, but the sun is lacking.  We shall have to wait to see 
how the day goes for the duo.

For me it looks like the usual routine of real work before 
fractal fun.  The next fractal, along with more philosophical 
pontificating, will appear right here in only 24 hours.  Until 
then, take care, and be of fractal cheer.
