FOTD 15-04-13 (Undersea Garden [!!])

16 Apr 2013

      FOTD -- April 15, 2013 (Rating !!)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

In today's image we're down to Z^(1.009) yet the interesting 
images keep coming.  I named the scene "Undersea Garden" because 
something about it reminds me of an undersea scene.

The parent is another oversized torpedo-like open area with 
patches of semi-chaos spotted along the edges.  Today's scene is 
obviously located in one of these chaotic areas.

The rating of two 'bangs' indicates my surprise at finding 
something worthwhile this close to Z^(1) (or straight Z).  If I 
find anything even closer to unity in future FOTD's, I'll 
increase the number of 'bangs' in the rating.

The big drawback is the calculation time of 12 minutes, but 
relief is available as always on the web sites.

Nobody runs DOS programs nowadays, so make life easy by viewing 
the finished image on the official FOTD web site at:

A great mid-April day was fully enjoyed by both cat and humans 
here at Fractal Central today.  The temperature of 66F 19C and 
partly cloudy sky could hardly have been improved.

The next FOTD will soon be posted.  Maybe we can find something 
even closer to unity.  Until whenever, take care, and a certain 
woman I know well, who claims to want nothing more than peace on 
earth, feels that we should withdraw all US military troops from 
foreign countries.  This makes good sense, but this same woman's 
favorite music is 'classic rock', including protest music from 
the Vietnam War era, which all too often seems violently angry 
to me.  And when I played 'The Planets' for her, thinking she 
would enjoy 'Venus, the bringer of peace' she surprised me by 
naming 'Mars, the bringer of war' as her favorite section.  
Women are sometimes truly hard to understand.
