FOTD -- February 06, 2010 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the vicinity of the northern branch of the Seahorse Valley of its parent fractal, which is a normal Mandelbrot set lying inside a circle of order (-25), with some extra stuff in its suburbs. I named the image "Lost in Somewhere" because it is not located actually inside the valley, but lies well inland near the north entrance of the valley. The rating of a 6 is rather good, but the rating might have been better if the colors had not turned out so intense and gaudy. The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is brief by any standards. And the finished image may be viewed on the FOTD web site without the need to calculate. The web site may be accessed at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Grey skies and a temperature of freezing kept the fractal cats close to the heat here at Fractal Central on Friday. When snow began falling just after dark, they edged closer to the heat. My day, and FL's as well continued busy. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and where is somewhere?
