Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image takes us to a minor valley of the Z^(1.5)+C Mandeloid as it appears 1.5 levels down the complex log ladder. I named it "Fractal Kind of Thing" for the reason that that's what it is. Unable to decide on a rating, I let the image go un-rated. The image is a departure from my usual style of fractal. Instead of a midget and its hectic surrounding pattern, we have a serene infinite blue background with a fractal something floating by in the foreground. The effect of infinitely deep space was achieved by rendering the image with the outside set to 'fmod'. Those who find the 5-minute render time too slow may download the finished image almost instantly from the FOTD web site at: A warm muggy Wednesday here at New Fractal Central was spoiled at 7pm by a lively thunder-shower. The fractal cats were startled by some of the louder thunder claps, but did not go into hiding. Though my day was busier than average, the work was finished promptly. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. It is looking more likely that after tomorrow there will be a week or so hiatus in the FOTD while fractal lady and I refresh ourselves at some out-of-the-way place yet to be determined. It will be a time to actually do nothing. Such vacations are not only the most relaxing, they are the least expensive. Until tomorrow, take more care than seems humanly possible.
