Fractal of the Day

FOTD -- May 14, 2008   (Rating 6.5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image, which I named "The Blue Minibrot", came about when I subtracted Z^(1.1) from Z^(-1.1) and added C to produce a parent fractal consisting of one multi-bayed main part and a smaller disconnected Mandeloid which is partially obscured.   Today's scene is located in the East Valley area of this smaller Mandeloid.

I named the image "The Blue Minibrot" because of the intensely blue minibrot at the center.   I could just as easily have named it after the colorful art-nouveau-like features surrounding the minibrot.

After not too much thought, I rated the image at a 6.5.   I am only moderately impressed by it.   The calculation time of a fireball-fast 41 seconds will make running the attached parameter file a pleasure.   Another way to see the image is to visit the FOTD web site at:
http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html
where it (hopefully) is or soon will be posted.

Thursday turned into an absolutely perfect day here at Fractal Central, with crystal clear skies and a temperature of 72F 22C.   The fractal cats were more concerned with scampering squirrels than the fine weather.   And I was more concerned with work than the weather.   The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours.   Until then, take care, and be one of them.
