FOTD -- September 17, 2001   (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

It's been five days since the last FOTD.   I'm still in a pretty down mood, but despite conditions, I've still managed to create a few fractals.   One of them I found worthy of being declared FOTD for September 17.

The formula that drew the image is 0.5(Z^2.22)+Z^(-2)+(1/C), one that I picked almost at random.   I named the picture "Fractal Diversion", because searching for fractals is a great way to fight a spell of brooding.   The image is about average in quality, rating a 6.

The parameter file renders in 10 minutes; the GIF image downloads in 1/10th that time from:

or from:

The fractal weather today was perfectly perfect, with cloudless blue skies void of even the usual contrails.   The fractal cats enjoyed the temperature of 77F 25C by sleeping together in their favorite porch chair.

As for me, I'm still in a kind of funk, thinking of more questions than the wisest person could answer.   Once I get my thoughts and questions organized, I'll post them to the Philofractal list.   I'll try to return in 24 hours or so with another FOTD, but there is no guarantee.   Until next time, whenever that may be, take care, and be of stout heart.
