[Fractint] FOTD 07-11-05 (Web Works [5])

      FOTD -- November 07, 2005 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image came about when I combined generous portions of 
Z^3 and Z^5, and added the usual 'C' to produce the parent 
fractal.  I searched one of the less likely valleys of this 
parent and found a tiny point, which when blown up proved to be 
an entire fractal universe.  Deep in this new universe I found 
the scene that appears as today's FOTD.

It took a few minutes of contemplation before I noticed the fork-
like features and decided to name the image "Fork in the Road".  
Since I put so little effort into the coloring, I could rate the 
image at only an average 5.  I leave it to the individual 
fractal fan to decide whether it is worth the effort to devote 
over 13 minutes to rendering an average fractal.

Those who decide it is not worth the effort may see the image by 
downloading it from the FOTD web site at:

The rain held off until after dark here at Fractal Central on 
Sunday, while the ample sun and temperature of 77F 25C made 
outdoor conditions just what the fractal cats wanted.  They 
spent the entire afternoon in the holly patch, doing little of 
importance.  As for me, I did little of importance also.  But 
today will be quite a bit busier.  The next glorious FOTD will 
appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and things may not 
be as they seem.
