FOTD -- January 12, 2009   (Rating 7.5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

NEW FORMULA ALERT!

Today's image is the first one created with a new formula, the DivideBrot6Julia, which draws the Julia aspects of the strange near-Mandelbrot set created by the DivideBrot6 formula.

And speaking of near-Mandelbrot sets, today's image is the Julia set of a point in the East Valley of a small minibrot on the main spike of one of these strange things.   And yes, I realize it looks nothing at all like a Julia set of the main spike of the Mandelbrot set, but what good would fractals be if they always did the expected.

I have lost track of the shortest calculation time in FOTD history.   The 8 seconds of today's image must be close to the record however.

The name "Julia Starburst" accurately describes the image.   The rating of a 7-1/2 seems about right for an image that took about a little less than no effort to create.

If the calculation time of 8 seconds is still too slow, the finished image may be viewed at leisure on the FOTD web site at:
Cloudy skies and a temperature of 28F -2C on Sunday made clearing the 6 inches, 15cm, of snow from the Fractal Central pavements a task of sorts, but with the fractal cats offering encouragement from the windows, and two hot coffees courtesy of FL, I finished the job with minimum discomfort.

The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.   Until then, take care, and I can see no end in sight.
