[Fractint] FOTD 03-12-09 (Epsilon Plus [6])

2 Dec 2009

      FOTD -- December 03, 2009 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's fractal image continues our fascination with the 'Zexpe' 
family of fractals, but today we examine the fractal that lies 
'Epsilon' levels up the logarithmic ladder.

This fractal is a twisted thing with 2 main buds and a very 
large minibrot near the shoreline of the main bay.  Today's 
image lies in a kind of East Valley in this large minibrot.

I rated the image at a 6.  After all, it is pretty much a 
repeat.  But the short calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes will 
bring happiness to all but the most melancholy fractalists.

The name "Epsilon Plus" implies more than is actually in the 
image.  Do not be deceived!

The fractal blues may be sent scurrying off by viewing the 
finished image on the FOTD web site at:

Morning clouds deteriorated to afternoon and evening rain here 
at Fractal Central on Wednesday, while the temperature of 41F 5C 
kept heavy coats in fashion.  The fractal cats spent the day 
wishing summer would come.

My day was uneventful.  Hopefully, tomorrow will be the same.  
The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take 
care, and why is there something instead of nothing?  (Perhaps 
'something' is the state of absolute maximum entropy.)
