FOTD -- July 01, 2009 (Rating 6)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
June was the month of seahorses; July will be the month of
Elephants. This means that the theme of July will be East
Valley -- not only the familiar East Valley of the Mandelbrot
set, but any valley of any minibrot that I suspect has East
Valley characteristics.
We start the East-Valley adventure today with an attractive
and blazingly fast minibrot deep in the East Valley of the large
minibrot on the main spike of the M-set. It is very typical of
the features found in East Valley areas.
I named the image "Algae on a Pond" because the colors remind me
of the algae on the surface of a pond, where many years ago I
used to sit and watch the dragon flies, butterflies, occasional
frogs and various and sundry other things. The pond has long
since been filled in, but the memories remain.
The rating was held to a 6 because such images are quite
familiar to every explorer of the Mandelbrot set. The upcoming
East valley images however will be far less familiar, and will
include some downright bizarre scenes.
As I said earlier, today's image is blazingly fast. It calcu-
lates in only 12 seconds. Those who would rather avoid playing
with fire may view the finished image on the FOTD web site at:

Variable clouds, showers and a temperature of 77F 25C marked
Tuesday here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats marked time
while they waited for their afternoon treats to be served. The
next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care,
and keep in step with progress. (It sounds good but means
nothing.)
