[Fractint] FOTD 20-01-11 (Ancient Symmetries [6])

20 Jan 2011

      FOTD -- January 20, 2011 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image is a scene near the large minibrot on the main 
stem of a distorted Mandelbrot set.  Actually, the main stem of 
this parent Mandeloid is infinitely divided, with assorted parts 
of several large minibrots visible.

Do not be deceived by the poetic name "Ancient Symmetries".  I 
wrote it in a spate of poetic inspiration, but the image fails 
to live up to the promise.  (The FOTD writer believes in truth 
in advertising.)

The rating of a 6 is merely adequate.  There is nothing outstand-
ing in the image to make it worth the calculation time of over 
6-1/2 minutes, so I recommend viewing the finished image on the 
currently active web site at:

<http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>

you also might want to check the original FOTD web site at:

<http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>

It is currently not up to date, but one of these days Paul will 
be up and about, ready to bring things up to date.

My own FOTD web site is still a work in progress, but progress 
*is* being made.

The temperature of 41F +5C here at Fractal Central on Wednesday 
was reasonable, but the cloudy sky and melting slush made things 
unpleasant.  Early in the day the fractal cats decided on the 
shelf by the heat.  My day was about average; FL's also.  The 
next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, 
and wait for the sunrise.
