FOTD -- April 25, 2008 (No Rating)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today's image takes us to the fractal that is created when the
formula Z^sqrt(3)+C is calculated 2 levels up the logarithmic
hyper-something when no function is applied.
The parent fractal resembles a half-deflated beach ball draped
over the edge of a cliff. The not-too-attractive and under-
iterated minibrot in today's scene resembles its parent beach
ball rather well.
The scene is located a short distance to the west of the main
bay of the parent fractal, where a zigzag filament is being
squeezed between two heavy discontinuities.
I named the image "Total Confusion" after a quick glance showed
very little orderliness in it. Then I let it go without a
rating. I didn't like the image enough to rate it.
The calculation time of 2-2/3 minutes will try the patience of
not even the most impatient fractalist.
And last but not least, the finished image is posted for instant
viewing on the FOTD web site at:

Absolutely perfect weather prevailed Thursday here at Fractal
Central. The sunny skies and temperature of 75F 24C made time
spent outdoors a pleasure. The fractal cats, who never get
outside to enjoy the weather, were unimpressed.
My day was slow -- once I got the G.D. (graphic design) work
out of the way that is. And better yet, tomorrow is due to be
the same. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until
then, take care, and what color is the number 8?
