Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth

|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Another rushed day brings another short discussion. I gave today's image the name "A Chilling Chiller" because of the somewhat ominous feeling it produces. This effect would work as the starting point for the cover of a cheap horror novel. The brownish elements around the midget, with their sharp points, have a vague resemblance to a colony of roosting bats, and with the lack of strong reds, the remaining blues and greens add to the ominous overall feeling. The formula of the parent fractal is a simple Z^(2.1)+C, with the resulting figure being sliced a bit up the infinite logarithmic spiral. The rating of 6 is perhaps a bit high for this hasty image, which rendered while I tended to other tasks. The render time of 34 minutes is slow enough to make a trip to Paul's web site at: The fractal weather today was once again summer-like, with blue skies and a temperature of 77F 25C. But the brisk winds had the fractal cats uneasy, cutting their outdoor time by well over half. It's now time to return to the daily grind, and do what needs to be done. One of these days I'll get around to that hypersphere, but today is not the day. I shall return tomorrow however, with the next FOTD. Until then, take care, and worry not.
