FOTD -- February 09, 2010 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the same parent fractal as yesterday's, but instead of lying in the eastern wedge, it lies in the fractal debris along the negative X-axis, just beyond the main body of the parent. I named the image "Shark's Teeth". My first impression upon seeing the finished full-size image was that of an Epsilon minibrot surrounded by a neclkace of shark's teeth. The rating of a 6 seems fair. The image really has little to set it apart from so many that have gone before, and due to the work that pays, I kind of ignored the colors. One good feature is the calculation time of only a hypersonic 47 seconds, a time that will pass in a flash. The finished image may also be seen by visiting the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Monday was a fine day here at Fractal Central, with total sunshine and a temperature of 34F +1C. This made the fractal cats so happy that they showed their pleasure by following a moving sunbeam across the floor for several hours. When the sunbeam escaped onto the wall, they decided it was time for food. My day was reasonable, but in no way does this imply I am a slave to reason. At times I can be quite unreasonable. The next FOTD will probably be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care and escape the bonds of reason. Do something unreasonable.
