FOTD -- October 08, 2009 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the parent fractal that is produced when various negative portions of Z^(-5.0125) and Z^(-1.0125) are combined and (1/C) is added. This parent fractal resembles an oversized circular disk lying east of the origin, with scalloped edges on the east side and a circular bay on the west. Today's image is located in a valley leading to this bay. The name "Golden Apples" has little to do with the image, other than the golden area inside the blue surroundings. The rating of a 7 indicates that I consider the image above average. The calculation time of 3-3/4 minutes may be avoided by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Heavy clouds and high winds spoiled Wednesday here at Fractal Central. Annoyed by the lack of sun, the fractal cats spent most of the afternoon sleeping, stirring only when a noisy tomcat fight broke out nearby. My day was spent trying to finish the work. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and raise the Hamiltonian. (Whatever that means.)
