FOTD -- May 13, 2008 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I named today's image "At Attention" because of the two dark red, strikingly erect elements at the sides of the frame. The parent fractal is a typical double-negative Z thing based on a variation of sqrt(2). The scene of today's action is in a valley between two circular bays of the parent. The rating of a 6 seems appropriate for an image that is little more than a sprinkling of confetti. The task of calculating the image from the parameter file can be avoided by visiting the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the finished image is posted. Doing this will save a whopping 1-3/4 minutes. Light rain continued on Monday here at Fractal Central, with a very unseasonal temperature of 55F 13C. The fractal cats spent most of the day resting by the window. My day was peaceful enough. Tomorrow should be a repeat. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and relax.
