Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth
|
FOTD -- February 13, 2009 (Rating 6.5)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
The name of today's image -- Gilded Grandeur -- might be somewhat of an exaggeration, but the image, which comes from the same general part of the same parent fractal as yesterday's image, is at least a slight improvement.
The rating of a 6-1/2 includes a 1/2 point golden-parachute bonus for my moderately successful attempts at coloring, though in this case, I have no intention of leaving the world of fractals in the foreseeable future.
The calculation time of 2-3/4 minutes will pass like lightning once the image starts to appear. The trip to the FOTD web site at:will pass like greased lightning, though I cannot imagine how one might apply axle grease to a bolt of lightning.
The temperature of 45F 7C here at Fractal Central on Thursday was fair enough, and the partly cloudy skies were no problem, but the wind, which gusted to 65mph 100kph through the day made walking around every corner a challenge. The fractal cats spent most of the day at their big window, watching the trees thrash about and various objects blow past. When a sudden gust brought a number of trash containers clattering down the middle of the street, the cats ducked for cover, but curiosity soon brought them back to the window.
My day was close to normal, and with any luck, tomorrow will be the same. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be sharp.
