FOTD -- October 21, 2009 (Rating 6)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today's image is named "Star in the Night". The image is a good
example of a curious fractal phenomenon known as anti-bifurca-
tion, where instead of converging toward an area of infinite
iterations and bifurcating as it converges, the fractal flow
diverges from a point of low iteration and bifurcates as it
diverges. The low point of divergence appears near the center
of the frame, appearing as a brilliant star in the deep blue
surrounding night
But despite its mathematical interest, the image makes only an
average artistic impression, which holds the rating to an
average 6.
The calculation time of a speedy 1-3/4 minutes should try the
patience of no one. In addition, the finished image is posted
for all it is worth on the FOTD web site at:

With total sunshine and a temperature of 68F 20C, Tuesday was a
day to be remembered here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats
remembered it for at least 2 seconds when meal time came. My
work day was rather busy, but I got FL to help a little.
The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. At least it is
scheduled to be posted then. But I have a funny feeling that a
big job will come in sooner than expected, so stay tuned to see
how things work out. Until next time, take care and keep
waiting for the miracle.
