FOTD -- June 10, 2010 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: With an unexpected rush job suddenly arriving on Thursday, I had little time to devote to fractals. But I did manage to produce an acceptable if not exceptional image, which appears as today's FOTD. The name "Passing the Time" might have some vague connection to the image, but if so, I fail to recognize it. The rating of a 5 indicates that I consider the image to be average. The 7-1/2 minute job of calculating the image may be escaped by viewing the image in finished form on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Heavy clouds and a steady chilly rain kept a damper on things here at Fractal Central. The temperature of 61F 16C was more like April than June, and the fractal cats didn't like it. As stated above, my day was very busy. Tomorrow will likely be a repeat, so I cannot guarantee the FOTD will appear on time. Until whenever, take care, and be watchful.
