Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth

|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's scene is a total mess, which I could rate at only a below-average 3. The mess exists because I spent much of my normal fractalling time setting up an observation post in the fractal yard, where I spent the night trying to keep warm and watching for meteors. The work was worth the effort, because after two failed years, the sky remained clear and the meteors appeared on schedule. They arrived shortly after 3am at a rate of 1 to 2 per second, and the display continued until dawn broke. I'll not attempt to describe today's fractal, which must be left to speak for itself. (As though fractals could speak.) I named the image "The Messiest Midget". One glance at the unusually slow image will explain why. The image can be rendered in 1-1/2 hours from the parameter file, but I recommend letting Paul and Scott do the hard work, and downloading the image from their web sites at: The fractal weather today (Saturday) kept the cats happy. The temperature of 61F 16C was just warm enough, and the partly cloudy skies let just enough sun through to let them bask. As for me, it's 10am and time to start the day. The first thing I'm going to do is take a nap. Until next time, take care, and some fractal problems just can't be solved, but they can always be reduced. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
