Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth

|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today is Halloween here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats are celebrating by doing nothing. I am celebrating by showing a sample of fractal ectoplasm. Ectoplasm is the substance ghosts are made of. It is an extremely elusive substance -- so elusive in fact that many doubt its existence. To my knowledge, no one has yet produced a sample of this substance. We have only pictures to show that it exists. But this elusiveness does not prove that ectoplasm does not exist. Fractals are just as elusive. No one has seen a real physical fractal. We have only pictures of fractals to show that they exist, yet no one doubts the existence of fractals. I named today's image "Ghostly Ectoplasm". That's what it's a picture of. Since ectoplasm is controversial, I could rate the image at only a 5. The render time of 38 minutes is a bit slow. The download from: The fractal weather was uneventful today, with sun and a temperature of 64F 18C which pleased the cats. And I would be pleased if the day's work were finished. So I'd best get started. Until next time, take care, and don't get spooked. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
