FOTD -- November 03, 2009 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Hooray! Today's quickie image actually rates a 7. It's a scene in the parent fractal that results when 1.34 parts of Z^(-1.2) are subtracted from 0.83 part of Z^(1.2) and (1/C) is added. Since time is at a premium, I'll make no effort to describe the image, but with a calculation time of a mere 35 seconds the included parameter file can be run with little risk of bitter disappointment. The risk of let-down may be totally bypassed by viewing the completely calculated image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Lots of sun on Monday here at Fractal Central, combined with a temperature of 57F 14C, gave the fractal cats a pleasant afternoon in the sun. My day was quite busy. The next FOTD will probably be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be alert for minor discrepancies.
