FOTD -- June 10, 2007 (Rating 3) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image was found almost without effort, and therefore rates a lowly 3. It shows a scene in Elephant Valley, but there are no elephants to be seen anywhere in the image. The elephants are present sure enough, but they lie at a different orientation, and are totally unrecognizable. The slice of the valley shown in the image is oriented in the Oblate direction of the Julibrot, the orientation defined by the real(Z) and imag(C) axes. It has been stretched around 25 times in the vertical direction to counteract the natural horizontal stretching in this part of the Julibrot. I named the image "Where are the Elephants?". The calculation time on the P2000 is almost 3 minutes. On the P200 it would be around 14 minutes. On the FOTD web site the image may be viewed almost instantly however. The web site may be accessed at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Near perfect weather, with sunny skies and a temperature of 79F 26C, made everyone happy on Saturday. It made me so happy that I decided to take the day totally off, and go out and have fun, which explains the late FOTD. The next FOTD might be ready in 24 hours, or if I decide to have another fun day, it might not. So until next time, take care, and keep enough chaos in your life to make it interesting.
