FOTD -- January 08, 2013 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Those fractal trees must be everywhere. As I was investigating the Julia sets of the (-Z)^(-1.5)+C Mandeloid, I stumbled upon today's fractal tree. I named the image "Candy-Drop Tree" because the tree appears to me made of candy drops. I am certain that fractal trees much more impressive than today's lie in the vicinity, but I had no time to do the necessary checking. The rating of 7-1/2 indicates an average scene on which I put a modicum of coloring effort. The calculation time of 6 minutes borders slowness, but once again the web sites charge to the rescue. To totally avoid calculation problems, check the finished image at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> and check the hi-def variations at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Thousands of back images are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Morning clouds gave way to afternoon sunshine here at Fractal Central today. The temperature of 41F +5C and light winds made the day quite harmless for the season. The fractal cat also had a harmless day, which was enjoyable for him, but makes a rather boring report. The humans got through the day with no major problems arising. The next FOTD will be posted when conditions are right. Until whenever, take care, and according to the news reports, doom is all around us. So be ready to stamp it out as soon as it rears its ugly head.
