FOTD -- February 11, 2009 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today we are faced with another of my genuine evaporated fractals. An evaporated fractal is exactly what the name implies -- a fractal with a bailout radius so large, (in today's case, one-googol), that the entire fractal has melted away to nothing but trapped 'inside' stuff. The generating formula combines various negative portions of Z^(-1.1) and Z^(-11.1) to create an indescribable parent fractal with the usual prominent 'fan' opening east from the origin. Of course, with a bailout radius of one-googol, the parent fractal is a totally blank screen before the 'bof61' inside fill is applied. When the inside fill is applied however, the parent fractal appears, with today's scene lying in a curving valley at the eastern edge of the 'fan'. I thought of the name "Secluded Shoreline" when I noticed the effect of waves breaking on an idyllic secluded tropic shore. I rated the image at a 6 when I found only slight satisfaction with the coloring. The calculation time of 6 minutes means that little time will have been lost if the finished image fails to please. And the finished image may be seen on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> with no risk at all of wasted time. Tuesday here at Fractal Central was spoiled by clouds and occasional showers. The temperature of 43F 6C was fair enough, but the fractal cats need more than mild temperatures to bring contentment. They displayed their dis-satisfaction by getting into a noisy tussle over a catnip mouse. The work was a little lighter than usual, which, considering the supposed economic meltdown, was not too bad. The next FOTD, glorious or not, will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and when you've finished taking care, have some fun.
