Fractal of the Day

|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: For today's FOTD we leave the world of Mandelbrot midgets and return to an area that I discovered by accident a number of years ago. It is an area of stylized trees that exists in the Julia orientation of the fractal that results when the formula (-Z)^1.1+C is iterated and C is initialized to 4. There's not much to be said about the image, which speaks for itself, except that it resembles the scene one might see while standing at the edge of a grove of trees, looking toward a meadow beyond. But the colors indicate that this is an other-worldly forest and the meadow, an other-worldly meadow. Unfortunately, I captured none of the skimmers that frequent the edges of forests on this remote world. Maybe I'll find some in a future FOTD. The lack of animal life in the picture is more than compensated for by the quickness of the parameter file, which renders in less than a minute. If any fractal fans would still prefer to download the GIF file in more than a minute, (heaven knows why), the file is available on Usenet at: The fractal weather today was partly cloudy and 84F (29C). It was a perfect day for cats, and the cats took advantage of it. The philosophy still needs more time in the armchair. And now it's time for me to take advantage of the evening news show on TV to hear the blather at the big convention. Until tomorrow, take care, and don't get lost in the world of fractals.
