FOTD -- November 01, 2006 (No Rating)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today's image shows a midget in the Z^(10.01)+C Mandeloid as it
appears 100 levels up the logarithmic ladder. It shows why
fractals in this range are virtually ignored. Basically, they
all look the same, and the universal sameness is not particular-
ly interesting.
I did my best with the thing, but with so little to work with,
there was not much I could do. I gave the image no rating and
named it "All the Same".
The render time of 2 minutes is surprisingly brief. And even
this short time may be avoided by going to the FOTD web site at:
<http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
and viewing the finished image there.
A beautiful sunny and warm fall day, with a temperature of 70F
21C here at New Fractal central on Monday went un-noticed by the
fractal cats, who slept away most of the day. I passed most of
the day in my easy chair or hopping around on my walker, waiting
for the recovery of my sprained ankle to reach the point where I
can kick the walker good-bye. On some days I get concerned and
depressed at the slowness, and I lack the energy to write the
FOTD, which explains why there was no FOTD for October 31. But
badly sprained ankles don't heal overnight.
Luckily, the regular graphic work is quite slow, and unless I
fall into another bout of depression, the next FOTD will appear
in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and look for the golden
lining.
