FOTD -- January 06, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I did not give today's fractal image a rating, since I spent so little time and effort on it. Actually, if I had rated the image, it would be worth little more than a rating of an inferior 4. I did name the image however. The name "Scattered Fractals" came to mind when the weather report came on the radio, talking about scattered showers as I was searching for a name. The name is not too far wrong. The image holds an infinity of midgets among another infinity of various fractal details. The parent fractal is a twisted and squeezed Mandelbrot set lying far out near -138 on the negative real axis. Today's scene is located in the southern branch of Seahorse Valley of this remote parent fractal. The render time of 10 minutes is rather slow for such an unim- pressive fractal image. To relieve impatience, I recommend visiting the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and viewing the image there. Friday was a rainy but very warm day here at Fractal Central, with a temperature of 61F 16C, which is almost unheard of here in central Pennsylvania in January. The fractal cats paid little attention to the weather, occupying themselves instead with wrecking the morning newspaper. My day was on the busy side. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and have at least a ghost of a chance.
