Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Things have been going well here at Fractal Central lately. I'm in one of those periods where I seem to automatically pick the right places to look for those hard-to-find midgets, and equally important, good color palettes seem to appear almost by magic. I named today's image "A Raspy Old Midget". The eight rasp-like elements surrounding the midget inspired the name. Undecided as to what rating I might bestow upon the picture, I decided on a rather liberal 9. An 8-1/2 might be more accurate, but we need at least a few 9's in the archives. The formula -5(Z^(-1.15))-0.02(Z^(-11.5))+(1/C) drew the parent fractal, which is a rather interesting but oversized figure by itself, with a prominent fan-like element extending eastward from the origin. Today's midget lies on the south border of this fractal fan. The 11-minute parameter file is a bit slow. I advise visiting Paul's web site or Scott's site, and downloading the GIF image file from there. Paul's FOTD site can be found at: The fractal weather today was virtually perfect, with sunny skies, a temperature of 77F (25C), and happy cats. And having found such a fine fractal, I'm happy too. Until next time, take care, and I wonder whether fractal seeds will grow. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
