FOTD -- October 07, 2008 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: On Monday FL had another financial panic attack, and I had to spend most of my normal fractal time assuring that the world is not ending and we should not sell all our investments right now before they drop to zero value. I still managed to find a kind of fractal however, which I named "Enola Rail Yards". The Enola rail yards are an actual place on Route 15 near Harrisburg, and the high point of the trip to and from Old Fractal Central. Every time I pass the yards, I glance over at the hundreds of parked locomotives, thankful that the trip is half finished. Today's image is an actual scene in its parent fractal, which is basically an oversized Mandelbrot set. The scene is located near a split-apart minibrot on the infinitely-divided main stem of the parent. Since I put almost no effort into the image, I gave it no rating. The calculation time is a blazingly brief 56 seconds. And finally, the already-calculated GIF image is or soon will be posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The sun shone, the breeze blew, and the temperature reached 59F 15C here at Fractal Central on Monday. The fractal cats spent most of the day at the window, watching the non-fractal cats pass by. My day was hectic. Hopefully tomorrow will be calmer. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and don't establish your depreciation.
