Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: If you have a feeling of deja-vu while looking at today's image, it is not a sign that you lived a previous life on earth. It is because today's image is a repeat of yesterday's image, with only a few changes added. Those changes are in the magnitude, escape radius, and inside fill. To start, I slightly decreased the magnitude of yesterday's image to include a bit more of the surrounding features. Then I increased the escape radius from 100 to 1100, a change that partly evaporated the image. Finally, I rendered the increased 'inside' area with the 'bof61' option to add extra life. The result is today's image, which I have named "Venetian Opened", assuming that someone has opened yesterday's blinds. The final image is not quite up to yesterday's, so I could rate it no higher than a 7, but it is still worth a look, and with a render time of almost exactly 9 minutes, it is, at least in my opinion, worth the effort. Those whose opinions differ may avoid the task of rendering by downloading the pre-rendered GIF image from the FOTD web site at: Partly cloudy skies, bearable humidity, and a high temperature of 86F 30C made outdoor conditions near ideal for the fractal cats on Wednesday. In fact, the conditions were a bit too ideal. Tippy refused to come in when evening arrived, and had to be carried inside bodily, grumbling to himself all the way. Today is starting much the same. It looks like another good day for the duo. For me, the work is continuing to back up. A FOTD hiatus will likely be necessary within a day or two, but for now, it looks like the next FOTD will appear on schedule in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and when we discover what we are, will we need to ask why we are? Or are we ourselves, with our insatiable curiosity, merely inventing all these apparent mysteries? . . .
