FOTD -- September 06, 2005 (Rating NA) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The fractal part of today's FOTD is brief. All my energy went into the philosophical part, which appears in the philofractal version of this discussion. Today's image combines Z^(0.065) with Z^2 and adds C. Since I did almost no extra work on the image, I gave it neither a name nor a rating. The render time of 6 minutes is a bit slow, but the already-rendered GIF image may be picked up from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The absolutely perfect weather continued on Monday here at Fractal Central, as did the perfect behavior of the fractal cats. Today is stating perfect. The cats will likely have another perfect day. My day will be somewhat busy, but nothing that I cannot finish in a few hours. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care and take hope.
