Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: There are some days when I just can't think of anything significant to mention about the day's fractal. Today is one of those days. My mind is a total blank. Normally my mind is just plain blank, but today the blank is total. Even the e-mail informing me that I have won the New Zealand Lottery had no effect. In fact, it actually caused me a bit of concern, since I cannot find the winning ticket, and I have forgotten where I purchased it. Oh well, at least I'll still be able to afford fractals. They are free. Unable to find any really good or bad features in the image for today, I rated it at an average 5. I don't recall why I chose the name "Gossamer Glory". It has a rather pleasant sound to it, though the image is not really all that delicate appearing. The parent fractal was created by combining portions of Z^(-1.95) and Z^(-5.91), then adding (1/C). The resulting fractal is an oversized thing consisting of the typical indescribable main bay filled with debris, with a much smaller satellite Mandeloid lying very near the eastern edge. Today's scene is located on a filament in the area between the satellite Mandeloid and the main debris-filled bay. The image contrasts broad flat areas with areas of intricate fractal detail, all of which surround a typical central midget. The render time of the included parameter file is a speedy 2 minutes. This bargain price raises the overall value of the image to 241. The image may also be seen by downloading it from the FOTD web site at: A very pleasant sunny day on Thursday, with a temperature of 77F 25C made the fractal cats very happy. They passed the afternoon under the holly trees, checking the little mounds that the cicadas are building up as they get ready to emerge. In the evening the duo came inside without urging and settled to sleep peacefully. I have about three hours work to finish before I return to fractal land to find the next FOTD, which will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and see the light.
