FOTD -- September 26, 2009 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's hasty image combines various unlikely negative portions of Z^(-1.05) and Z^(-5.5). When (1/C) is added, the resulting parent fractal is a grossly oversized thing consisting of a nearly circular main bay with a kind of dimple on its eastern edge. Today's image is located in a bit of fractured chaos in the vicinity of this dimple. The extreme magnitude of the image makes the mathtolerance entry necessary. The name "Wheel in the Sky" was the first phrase that came into my head when the time came to name the image. It might also be the name of an old song. The rating of an 8 indicates that I think the image is pretty good. The calculation time of 8 minutes is slightly dragging, but the trip to the FOTD web site, where the finished image is posted, is much faster. The web site may be accessed at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A sunny day with a temperature of 70F 21C was just what the fractal cats ordered here at Fractal Central on Friday. They were totally satisfied with the afternoon sun. My day was rather busy but otherwise acceptable. The next FOTD will probably be posted in 24 hours. Until next time, take care, and it's double or nothing.
