Three words:  gorgeous, gorgeous and, yes, gorgeous.  I especially liked the changes of pace, which reminded me of certain scenes in the Matrix as it switched from full-speed to slow motion...

Fractal Animation visionaries and enthusiasts: 

Today's animation is derived from the FOTD for Jan 4 2013, "Into The Boondocks", where the  REAL portion of the P5 parameter is varied from -4.01000055420134   to   -4.00999901475165  in steps of  0.0000000005  for 3K+  frames.

Perhaps the last one may have been a bit boring, but not this one. No slow parts, all psychedelic, all cruisin' all the way!

The name -- "Valentynez" -- will be evident while viewing.  My rating of 9 for this one makes it one of the best of the "kaleidoscope" animations.  The calculation time of one day leaves every excuse for those who lack the time to do the calculation, especially when the finished viddie is available on my web site:

34 MEG download for 3 min 26 sec viewing pleasure.



Clear skies with temperatures in the 40's made today here at Fractal Animation Central totally typical for the start of January (in Colorado).  The fractal coyotes have been silent recently, but horses and cattle can be heard in the distance at nite or in the wee hours of morning, adding to the pleasant environment of the American West, although Colorado is becoming more infested with liberals every day; I fear it will soon be New Jersey with a better climate and a mountain view before too long.


The next animation (zoom "Into the Aether") will be posted when it is finished, in a week or two.  Until then, take care, and I never cease to be amazed at the emotionally-based but ineffective solutions to major problems that INsincere people keep inventing.  For example, to make the streets safer, why would any sensible person be against every free citizen carrying the firearm of their choice, open or concealed? A wise philosopher once noted that "an armed society is a free and polite society", and how right he was!


Cheers
