Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries: After yesterday's cosmic fractal, today's must be considered a minor interlude. It is a picture of a lopsided little midget that looks just as exhausted as I feel after last evening. And no wonder I'm exhausted -- I just got through the last day of another entire year. That's 51 years down and quite a few more to go. We begin the third-from-last year of the 20th century with a picture of a midget with a nose problem. I named the picture "Snub Nosed Midget" but this little midget is more than snub-nosed, it's actually coming apart at the seams, filled as it is with more holes than a swiss cheese. The formula mixes various portions of the Z^2, Z^-5 and Z^-3 Mandeloids, and slices the figure in the vicinity of a critical point. The finished image has been posted to alt.binaries.pictures.fractals and alt.fractals.pictures. It is also available at Paul's web site at: Tomorrow, I'll have more energy for a longer commentary and hopefully a better fractal. Until then, take care and keep the faith in your fractals.
