[Fractint] FOTD 17-01-06 (NO RATING)

      FOTD -- January 17, 2006 (NO RATING)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

For the next few months the FOTD will appear as frequently as 
possible, but on an irregular basis.  With the continuing 
graphic-design work and preparations for moving, things will be 
simply too hectic and unpredictable for a regular schedule.

Today's image is a scene on the negative real axis of the 
Z^2.0001+C Mandeloid as it appears 5000 lofty levels up the 
infinite complex logarithmic spiral.  At this height the Mandel 
figure is rotated around 37 degrees, so that a minor period-25 
radical located on the southwest shore of the main bay inter-
sects the negative X-axis.

The image earns no rating and no name.  I put far too little 
effort into it to consider rating it.  The render time of 25 
minutes is slow, but the completed GIF image is available for 
download on the FOTD web site at:

       <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

The download will save much time.

Light winds but freezing temperatures kept the fractal cats 
confined to their window shelf here at Old Fractal Central on 
Monday, M.L.K.Jr. Day.  Despite the holiday, the work kept me 
confined to my desk.  The next FOTD will appear when I find the 
time.  I'll give a 67-percent chance that tomorrow will be the 
day.  Until next time, whenever that is, take care, and carry 
onward.
