FOTD -- November 04, 2009 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Check the philofractal version for a longer discussion. Today's image shows an unusually attractive order-7 minibrot that lies in the East Valley area of the large minibrot on the main spike of the parent fractal, which on the surface is a perfect Mandelbrot set. Since I put most of the day's writing energy into the philosophy in the philofractal version, I will cut today's fractal discus- sion short. But what can really be said about an image such as today's, which speaks for itself, (silently of course). The rating of a 7 puts the image above average. The name "Third from the Left" means absolutely nothing. The calculation time of 43 seconds means a total lack of impatience. The fact that the completely rendered image is posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> means total satisfaction is at hand. A mixture of sun and clouds made Tuesday a questionable day here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats enjoyed the periods of sun and grumbled when the sun disappeared. The temperature of 57F 14C was reasonably comfortable. For me the day was somewhat busier than normal. Tomorrow will likely be the same. The next FOTD, which will be posted in 24 hours, will hopefully be an improvement over today's. Until next time, take care, and don't be distracted by the gadgets.
