Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's trip into the Mandelbrot set takes us into a previously unexplored (at least by me) valley on the north shore of the main bay. The exact valley in question is the east branch of the sixth valley of the series of valleys along the center line of the large north bud. In this valley, which is far too remote to have been given a name, broad areas of quasi-order are sprinkled with scepter-shaped areas of near-total chaos. The midget in the image is located in one of these scepter-like areas of chaos . The nature of the area is reflected in the nearly-straight arms radiating from the midget. I have tried to raise the impact of the scene by giving it a rather intense color palette, though even the colors cannot raise the rating beyond that of an everyday 6. But it's still a striking scene, and the render time of five minutes is reasonably fast. Best of all, the completed image is available for download in GIF format on Paul's FOTD web site at: Saturday was a near perfect day here at Fractal Central, as expected. The dynamic fractal cats were near angels, as expected. They spent most of the day lounging in the grass, wishing more warm sun could get through the evergreen holly trees at the bottom of the yard. Luckily, the temperature of 66F 19C was mild enough to keep them comfortable. As I watched them just lying there, I remembered the days not too many years ago, when they would have spent the day dashing about like kittens. Today is due to be a repeat, though now, at 9:00am, a light fog is drifting in, and the grass is still too wet with dew for their sensitive paws. My plans for the day are still uncertain. The work is caught up, but there is always the chance that I'll be drafted into a trip to one of the countless local antique malls. Regardless, the next trip into the Mandelbrot set will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and will the truth prevail? Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com jimmuth@aol.com |
