Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's discussion will have to be brief. I stayed up unusually late last night watching election returns, and overslept this morning. The fractal for today features a midget, (nothing unusual in that), and a continuation of the creepy mood of yesterday's image. I named it "More Creepies". In order to fully appreciate the image, it is best viewed in subdued light. The iterated formula combines a negative portion of Z^(11) with a portion of Z^(-1.2), then adds (1/C). The resulting fractal appears as a Mandeloid with its stem pointing NNW and an extra bay extending SSE beyond East Valley, which is split into two separate valleys. Today's scene is located on the eastern branch of East Valley. Rating the image was a simple task. I rated it at a 6, which is the lowest possible above-average rating. The 12-minute render time can be avoided by downloading the completed GIF image from: The Tuesday weather here at Fractal Central started sunny enough, but before noon a veil of clouds moved in, which thickened through the afternoon and produced rain by nightfall. The clouds held the afternoon temperature to 50F 10C and held the cats' outdoor time to under an hour. They took their confinement stoically however. This morning (Wednesday) has again started sunny. The cats are enthusiastic, but whether it will remain sunny is yet to be determined. One thing fully determined however is the amount of work on the shelf. In order to finish I'll have to start, so until tomorrow's fractal, take care, and a new world is coming . . . but will it be a fractal world? Jim Muth jimmuth@aol.com jamth@mindspring.com |
