Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth

|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: After an active day celebrating and philosophizing, I found little time for fractaling. But in that short time I managed to find a fractal that rates a 7, a rating that has been notably absent lately. The expression (1/Z)-Z+(1/C) wouldn't be expected to create much of a fractal, but fractals rarely do what's expected of them, and today's fractal is a prime example of this fractal stubbornness. I named the picture "Skewed Sweethearts" because the midget's pattern is a bit askew, and the sweethearts part of the name will pique the curiosity of the ladies. The parameter file takes 6-1/2 minutes to render, making the download from: The fractal weather today was partly cloudy and warm, with a temperature of 86F (30C), which was perfect for the cats. But due to the fireworks going off in the neighborhood, the cats stayed indoors, hiding most of the day in the hall closet. I reached philosophical exhaustion this afternoon, so there will be a rather lengthy break before the next outburst. But the break before I return with the next fractal will be only 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be serene. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
