Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: It was another very busy day here at Fractal Central, involving stripping wallpaper among other pleasant tasks. But despite all the activity, I still found a semi-worthy fractal. Today's FOTD is a scene in the same parent fractal that held yesterday's image. But whereas yesterday's FOTD was a scene on the shore of the inland lake of the island, today's is a scene on the ocean shoreline. I named the picture "Horsehead Minibrot" because of the elements surrounding the Minibrot, which vaguely resemble a horse's head, or at least a seahorse's head. The average image deserves an average rating of 5, which I gave it. Today's image is very slow when rendered from the parameter file, requiring over one hour. Since I will not be posting binary files to Usenet for at least a month, the way to see today's effort is to give Paul and Scott a chance to post the GIF image to their web sites and download it from there. Paul's web site is at the URL: The fractal weather today was sunny and mild. The temperature of 52F (11C) was comfortable enough, but the high winds kept the fractal cats confined to the porch, from where they chattered at a flock of robins that descended on the berries on the holly trees surrounding the fractal shoppe. And now the fractal day has ended. it's time to shut things down and enjoy a well-earned evening of junky TV. Perhaps I'll watch a tape of the old "Martian Chronicles" movie, which I have stored somewhere. Until tomorrow, take care, and when the fractals just don't come, wise up and call it a day.
