Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: After another very busy day, and finding myself with no fractal worthy of FOTD status, I was forced to make do with a routine fractal. I naturally gave it the name "A Routine Fractal", and honestly rated it a 3. The midget is typical of those found deep in the stars of the higher order radicals of the Mandelbrot set, though the formula in this case is Z^(-1.1)-Z^0.9+1/C. The unusual parent fractal is worth a look. The parameter file renders in 57 minutes, far too long a time for any reasonable fractalist to wait for such a routine image. The solution to this dilemma is to download the GIF image from: The fractal weather today was delightful, though a bit cool for early September. The sunny skies and temperature of 68F 20C had the fractal cats outdoors most of the day. But alas, the fractal philosophy went nowhere, and since tomorrow will be another hectic day, it likely will go nowhere then either. But regardless, I'll be here on schedule with another fractal and at least a few words. Until next time, take care, and see you soon. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
