Knock knock...
Who's there?
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange you glad I didn't say "Today's minibrot..."
Today's posting is not a minibrot it's a fractal with a metallic weave effect from the Liar family of formulas.
Use an outside coloring with a higher than usual proximity value, calculate with
low maximum iteration value and you get today's fractal. Go to the old reliable http://maxitersfractalfollies.blogspot.com
for the pre-calculated fractal. And now for the local weather report.Calgary
had a hailstorm today with some large hailstones but not of the bigger than a golf ball type.
No significant damage but with this latest down pour the weather remains unseasonably wet
and cold and the farmers are worried.
