FOTD -- December 18, 2009 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Due to the seasonal rush, today's discussion will be very brief. The image is a scene in a parent fractal that has a Seahorse- type valley where its East Valley would be expected. The scene is located in the northern arm of this Seahorse-East valley. I gave the image no rating but named it "Banana-Custard Pie" for reasons known only to myself. The calculation time of just over 1-1/2 minutes will cause problems for no one. And as always, the finished image is posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Partly cloudy skies and a high temperature of 30F -1C gave quite a winterish feeling to the Fractal Central area on Thursday. The fractal cats simply ignored the weather, while my day was very busy. It's hard to say when the next FOTD will be posted. It could be as soon as 24 hours, or perhaps not for 48 or even 72 hours. Until whenever, take care, and be watchful.
