FOTD -- November 02, 2009 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Another late fractal. I'm still getting caught up. Today's image lies in the parent fractal that results when the formula Z^sqrt(2)+C is calculated a whopping 4321 levels up the logarithmic ladder, a level I chose purely on a whim. It is an unusually good image for such a low exponent of Z. Since the image was found in a hurry, I could not give it a rating, but the calculation time of under 2 minutes means that no one will have wasted much time if the image turns out to be disappointing. The name "The Root Has It" came to mind as soon as I shut down my brain, (which I am told takes very little effort). To see the rather dark image, either run the included parameter file or visit the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Monday here at Fractal central featured sunny skies, a temperature of 57F 19C, and happy cats. My day was quite busy, but I still managed a fast FOTD. The next FOTD is due in about 6 hours. Check then, but do not be disappointed if it is late. Until next FOTD, take care, and be happy in your fractal work.
