FOEFD -- August 24, 2004 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: When Z^(-2) is subtracted from 0.6 part of (Z^2) and (1/C) is added, a scattering of various sized and shaped Mandelbrot sets results. Today's scene lies in the Seahorse Valley area of one of the smaller sets. When rendered in the normal manner, today's image resembles a variation of the Julia sets of the Seahorse Valley area. To give the scene a little extra life, I rendered it with the outside set to 'tdis', and took just a slight bit of extra care in coloring it. I named the image "Two Little Moonlets" when I happened to view the screen from across the room and was reminded of two moons circling a planet. The rating of a 6 is fair enough, and when the render time of 7-plus minutes is figured in, the overall value rates a respectable 83. As is usually the case, the finished image may be found on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Perfect weather on Sunday and Monday (lots of sun and tempera- tures in the low 80's F, upper 20's C) kept the fractal cats happy in the yard. The fractal human was kept happy by seeing the continuing decrease in the work backlog. Today promises to be a repeat in all aspects, which hopefully will lead to another glorious fractal image in a day (or more likely two). Until then, take care in every way you can.
