Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's FOTD is late because I had no chance to post it at the usual time. Today's FOTD is a scene halfway to the "willwisp" image of two days ago because I had no chance to find a new image. Despite these shortcomings, the image still rates a 5. I named the picture "Half a Wisp" because it is a scene that I came upon while I was on the way to the "willwisp" image, the scene of which lies in the lower right corner of today's image. I am late because I got stuck in the snow yesterday. I got stuck because the local motorists behave as though they had never seen snow. Today's parameter file takes 11 minutes on my P200 machine. The image file will be available in the near future from Paul's site at: The fractal weather today was cloudy and very cold, with a temperature of 18F (-8C) and heavy snow, which began suddenly just before noon and continued all afternoon. The suddenness of the onset must have caused the unusually horrible traffic conditions, since only 6in (15cm) piled up on the ground. My unexpected absence caused the fractal cats distress. Their inability to go outdoors also displeased them. This caused them to be sulky all evening, showing their displeasure by sitting in front of me with their backs to me until I eased their unhappiness by giving them a treat of tuna fish. That's it for today. The next FOTD will appear in 15 hours -- not because the image will take that long to calculate, but because the regularly scheduled FOTD post time will not arrive until 15 hours have passed. Until then, take care, and keep your cool when things turn cold. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
