FOTD -- February 15, 2010 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I spent the day Sunday enjoying how pleasant it is to actually spend a day doing nothing of importance. Despite the attack of laziness, I did manage to find a fractal. The fractal is simply another version of the effect I demonstra- ted in yesterday's FOTD image, where the grossly bloated image of a tiny part of the Mandelbrot set is seen lying in its corres- ponding Julia set. This time I chose a scene in the southern branch of Seahorse Valley to enlarge and fit into its Julia set. A careful tweak- ing of parameters placed the enlarged valley straight through the center of its Julia set. The name "Seahorse Holiday" has a kind of fun-fantasy ring to it. The lack of a rating indicates that I took the lazy way out when finding the image. The calculation time of under 3 minutes will make life easy for all but the most impatient fractalists. These impatient few may find immediate viewing pleasure on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the finished image is or soon will be posted. Peace prevailed here at Fractal Central on Sunday, both among cats and humans. The weather was peaceful also, as the clouds failed to drop their snow and the temperature reached freezing. The next FOTD, very likely another venture into the abstract world of four dimensions, will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and fight the latest epidemic -- the epidemic of fractal addiction.
