FOTD -- November 21, 2007 (No Rating)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's FOTD is a simple outzoom from yesterday's image.  I had 
to post it because I think it is somewhat of an improvement over 
yesterday's version.  Of course, there is no way I could rate a 
near-repeat, so I let it go un-rated.

When I did the outzoom, the image reminded me of a whole wind-
mill farm, thus the rather cryptic name "Zoom Out to Windmills"

The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is quite fast considering 
the maxiter of the image and how much of it consists of 'inside' 
stuff.  Yes, a good part of today's image, as well as most of 
yesterday's, is made of 'bof60' inside fill.  To see just how 
much, change the inside option to 'numb'.

Now a word about the missing characters in some of my parameter 
files.  I think this happens when I cannot connect to Mindspring 
and must post the FOTD through AOL, which appears to send email 
in html format.  And there is a bigger problem.  The philofrac-
tal list rejects html format.  This explains the missing philo-
fractal postings.  Finally, if the finished image is unavailable 
on the FOTD web site, give Paul a chance to render and post the 
image, and try again later.

Continued dull, dreary, damp and chilly weather prevailed here 
at Fractal Central all day Tuesday.  The rain ended at daybreak, 
but then a fog set in, which covered the area for the rest of 
the day.  Due to the dampness, the near-normal temperature of 
41F 5C seemed much colder.  The fractal cats must have agreed, 
for they hugged the radiators most of the day.

My day was average, with nothing of unusual importance to make 
it memorable.  The next in the unending line of FOTD images will 
be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and, (SQOTD), no 
one has ever seen an atom, so how do we know they exist?
