FOTD -- February 07, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image shows a midget hiding in the parent fractal that results when the formula Z^(1.55)+C is iterated 55 levels up the logarithmic ladder. Like almost all the midgets in this exponent range, the one in today's image resembles a starburst. With little time to devote to fractaling, I put too little effort into today's image to give it a name or rating. My own opinion is that the colors are a bit weak, but the ladies seem to like pastel shades, so I declined to increase the contrast. The render time of 4-1/2 minutes should offend the patience of only the busiest fractalists. And these hurried ones can still see the image by going to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and viewing it there. Lots of sun, less wind, and a temperature of 21F -6C made things a bit less uncomfortable here at Fractal Central on Tuesday. But for some reason the fractal cats were uneasy, and spent much of their day wandering about the house calling out for something only they knew about. My day was very busy, as tomorrow will be also. But those FOTD images just keep coming. The next one is due in 24 hours. If all goes well, it might actually appear. Until then, take care, and if ghosts existed, I would say Fractal Central is haunted.
