FOTD -- June 16, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is named "East to Freedom". The only reason I can give for the strange name is that the image lies on the east edge of one of those fractal fans that are so common in parent fractals created with two negative exponents of Z. The rating of a 7 is only slightly above FOTD average. Despite the brilliant colors, there have been so many similar images in the past that the theme has become hackneyed, holding down the rating a point or so. The calculation time of 3-3/4 minutes will drag a bit, but the drag may be avoided by visiting the web sites. Be at peace with the abstract realm of numbers. Check the finished lo-def image on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> If hi-def is your thing, check the rendering at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> And don't forget the past images, which are posted at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Morning clouds gave way to afternoon sun here at Fractal Central today. The fractal cat stretched out on the hardwood floor as the temperature reached a pleasant 81F 27C. The humans simply had a pleasant day, though I have noticed how much less active our pleasant days have become since I launched the FOTD in April of 1997. The fractal cat's pleasant days are slowing down also, especially now that he has no lady playmate to keep him on the run. The next FOTD will be posted in a day or two. Until then, take care, and don't agitate yourself by playing violent video games. Create a peaceful aura by enjoying a good murder mystery.
