FOTD -- December 25, 2007 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's quickie image was found in the main spike area of the parent fractal for December. I have little time to write a proper discussion, so I'll let the image speak for itself. (Listen closely.) I named it "Any Which Way You Will". The name means basically nothing, but it does attract a bit of attention. The rating of 7.5 includes an extra half-point for my coloring prowess. The calculation time of 3-1/3 minutes will pass in a flash, but downloading the image from the FOTD web site will make an even bigger flash. The web site may be accessed at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Monday turned into a rather pleasant day here at Fractal Central, with some clouds, but still lots of sun, lighter winds, and a temperature of 41F 5C. The fractal cats celebrated by ripping the bows from several carefully wrapped gifts and getting themselves shut out of the room. My day was about average for the day before Christmas. Tomorrow is likely to be rather hectic, but I'm sure the usual fractal will prevail. The prevailing fractal will appear at this same spot in 24 hours. Until then, take care and where are the 12 fractal days of Christmas?
