FOTD -- October 04, 2008 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I named today's image "Disorderly Order". It is located in the East Valley of a minibrot floating in an area of total chaos surrounding a large Mandeloid at the center of the parent fractal. The disorderly parent chaos is reflected in the texture throughout the scene. The immediately recognizable pattern reflects the order. I rated the image at a 5. After all, how impressive can a scene lying not all that deep in an East Valley be. Perhaps the most impressive thing about the image is the fact that a negative logmap setting works best with it. The calculation time of 19 minutes is pretty impressive also, so I strongly recommend viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Early morning clouds gave way to afternoon sunshine here at Fractal Central on Friday, while the temperature reached a high of a slightly chilly 61F 16C. The fractal cats cleared the unwanted cats from the area early, then spent the rest of the day sleeping and thundering up and down the hallway at top speed, like a herd of . . . well, hyperactive cats! My day was busy. Enough said. I'll be spending most of the day Saturday back at Old Fractal Central, so the next FOTD will not appear until October 06. Until that sublime moment, take care, and maybe it's the myths that are real, and reality is the myth.
