Sorry to bother you but I keep on not being able to see the fractal images posted after May 6th. Is there any general problem or I am the only one experiencing this situation? Thanks and Best regards Jacopo, Italy

FOTD -- May 13, 2008 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

I named today's image "At Attention" because of the two dark red, strikingly erect elements at the sides of the frame.

The parent fractal is a typical double-negative Z thing based on a variation of sqrt(2). The scene of today's action is in a valley between two circular bays of the parent.

The rating of a 6 seems appropriate for an image that is little more than a sprinkling of confetti.

The task of calculating the image from the parameter file can be avoided by visiting the FOTD web site at:

<http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

where the finished image is posted. Doing this will save a whopping 1-3/4 minutes.

Light rain continued on Monday here at Fractal Central, with a very unseasonal temperature of 55F 13C. The fractal cats spent most of the day resting by the window. My day was peaceful enough. Tomorrow should be a repeat. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and relax.
