FOTD -- December 04, 2010 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Enough work to keep me busy most all day Friday left little time for a proper fractal search. Luckily, fractals are so numerous that I found one after an improper search. Today's image is closely related to yesterday's FOTD. It is the Julia set of a point in the north valley of a minibrot in East Valley of the Mandelbrot set. The image is very sensitive to maxiter changes. Even a small change will totally change the color, while a substantial maxiter increase will fill in the open areas. I named the image "1/4 of the Pie" because of the four well- defined quarters into which the scene is divided. The rating of a 6 is nothing to get excited about, but to assure continued tranquility, the calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes will leave no chance for excitement to build. The finished FOTD images are posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> but Paul, who has maintained the web site for over 17 years, is still recovering, and might not be able to keep the site up to date. Until he fully recovers, I will post only fast images that finish in a minute or two. Lots of clouds, brisk winds, flurries of snow and a temperature of 36F +2C made Friday a day to keep a traveler invigorated. The fractal cats would rather have had sun. My day was busy but not excessively so. The next FOTD is due to be posted in 24 hours, but as is always the case with Sunday images, it might be late. Until whenever, take care, and reality may not be natural.
