FOTD -- September 16, 2005 (Rating NA) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image shows a very deep scene on a filament extending from the large midget on the negative X-axis of the Mandelbrot set. Since I put almost no effort into coloring the image, I could neither name nor rate it. Being well into the range of arbitrary precision math, the scene renders in a slow 99 minutes. But I have sent the finished image on ahead to Paul at the FOTD web site, where it is posted ready for download. The FOTD web site may be accessed at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A bit of closing philosophy is included in the philofractal version of this discussion. Thursday here at Fractal Central was too warm, too humid, and had too many showers for the fractal cats, who satisfied themselves with less than one hour in the yard. Needless to say, it was necessary to break out the tuna in the evening. Today is starting about the same, with more showers in the area. For me it looks like a relatively normal day coming up, which should leave time enough for fractals. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and always reduce complexity to simplicity.
