FOTD -- May 08, 2005 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is named "Scene in a Fractal". The fractal is the Z^(1.5)+C Mandeloid as it exists 1 level up the complex-log hyperspiral. The scene is located deep in the East Valley of a midget that lies on what passes for the main stem of the fractal, in an area where the patterns around midgets resemble slices of human brains. Actually, the 'main stem' is more of a zig-zagging filament that a main negative stem, and the midgets that lie on it are not easy to find. A sub-midget obviously lies at the center of today's image, though I have not yet ventured down there to glimpse it. The brilliant coloring is an accident that happened as I struck the 'enter' key, which produces a new random color palette at every strike. The rating of a 7 seems appropriate for such a brilliant image. In contrast to yesterday's dawdling image, today's renders in only 9 minutes. The finished product is always available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Saturday was quite a pleasant day here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats made the most of the situation. They were in the yard from before noon until evening. Today is again starting pleasant but the wind is up. Things look marginal for the duo. For me the day looks peaceful; how the fractals turn out remains to be seen. Until 24 hours have passed, and tomorrow's FOTD appears, take care, and where did it all come from?
