FOTD -- June 29, 2010 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image rates a 6. So far, so good. Its parent fractal is one of the largest I have ever found, needing the maximum possible outzoom before it fits onto the screen. No problem here either. I named the image "Forever Nameless", which is paradoxical because this is actually a name. OK, but fractals are meant to be observed with the eyes, not to be given clever names. Today's image is evaporated. I raised the escape radius to one googol, which caused all the 'outside' parts to vanish, leaving an image consisting totally of 'inside' stuff. This left-over inside stuff was then brought to life by the 'bof61' inside fill. The generating expression combines various negative portions of Z^(-1.2) and Z^(-4.4) then adds (1/C). The calculation time of 54 seconds is quite fast, I admit it. But the image can be seen instantly on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> assuming Paul has already posted it there, that is. Heavy clouds, high humidity and sporadic rain showers spoiled Monday here at Fractal Central. The temperature of 86F 30C felt very sultry -- like an afternoon on the banks of the Panama Canal rather than the Susquehanna River. The fractal cats, who have never been to Panama, spent the day stretched on the cool tile floor. My day was average. FL, who was beginning to worry that it might never rain again, felt much relieved when the showers fell, even though the day's rain amounted to only 1cm. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be on the alert for alien invaders from space.
