Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth
|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: An extremely busy day means a hasty fractal and short discussion. Today's curious scene lies in the infinite spiral of the Z^(sqrt(2))+C Mandeloid, a short distance out from the default view. The parent fractal is a distorted bay with an even more distorted main bud. Today's scene lies in the left branch of the valley between the bay and bud. I named the picture "Breaking-up Midget" when I saw how broken the surrounding elements are. I can honestly rate the image no higher than 4, since I put almost no effort into it. The 11-minute parameter file makes a download preferable. The download may be found at: The fractal weather today was partly cloudy and very muggy, with a temperature of 84F (29C) that was perfect for both fractal cats and grass trimming. The rain held off until after dark, when a heavy thunder-storm skimmed past just to the east. Luckily the rain was not enough to run into the basement. I had no time for philosophy today, but I'm accumulating a great backlog of ideas, which sooner or later will be made public. Despite the rush, I'll return in 24 hours with a new fractal and a few more words. Until then, take care, and the best has not yet arrived. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
