FOTD -- July 14, 2008 (Rating 6.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the curious fractal that results when 0.4 part of (1/Z) is combined with Z^100 and straight C is added. This parent fractal appears as a circle with an open bay filling the right quarter of its interior. Today's scene is located on the X-axis in the rich detail at the left edge of this bay. I named the image "Hidden Jewels" for no good reason, and rated it at a 6.5, allowing myself a half point bonus for the extra coloring effort. The calculation time of a minute will seem more like 10 seconds once the scene starts to appear on the screen. For added convenience, the finished image is posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A hot muggy morning with ample sunshine led to clouds and rain showers in the afternoon on Sunday here at Fractal Central. The dynamic cats slept through most of the non-excitement. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and for insomnia, read "Finnegan's Wake".
