Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is titled "Happy the Tenth". I gave it this name because the scene is located in the tenth valley on the negative X-axis of the Mandelbrot set. The first valley is the well-known Seahorse Valley; the second valley is the not-quite-as-well-known Scepter Valley. I don't think the valleys beyond this point have been named, but the scene of today's image is in the very remote tenth valley. But I could rate the image no higher than a 6, because in valleys of such a high-order, a certain boring sameness starts to creep in. The image is striking enough, mostly because of its intense colors, but when studying it, I get the urge to say, 'they all look the same out here'. The calculation time of 5-1/2 minutes on the P4-2000mhz would be about 1/2 hour on the P200mhz, a bit slow but not beyond reason. And the most reasonable way of all to see the image is found on the FOTD web site at: The heat, haze and humidity returned to Fractal Central with a vengeance on Friday, when the temperature reached a high of 88F 31C under a broiling sun. The fractal cats didn't worry about the broiling sun, but they did find a cricket, which they toyed with for a few minutes before they finished it. My day was average; tomorrow promises to be the same. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours, but if F.L. and I decide to go out, it might be late. Until next time, take care, and do fractals obey the laws of relativity, or the quantum, or both, or neither? Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com jimmuth@aol.com |
