[Fractint] FOTD 04-10-12 (A Second Opinion [7])

5 Oct 2012

      FOTD -- October 04, 2012 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image is another scene in yesterday's parent fractal, 
though instead of checking the large bud, we check the east edge 
of the main bay, just south of the broad peninsula that is 
trying, though not too successfully, to be an East Valley.

The fractal patterns in this area are entirely different from 
those on the shore line of the large bud.  Instead of loops, we 
see sharp-pointed, rather dark and ominous elements that would 
make a fitting cover for a paperback horror novel.

The name "A Second Opinion" indicates that today's image is the 
second venture into the same parent fractal, and, as is the case 
with medical doctors, a second opinion sometimes brings an 
entirely different outlook.

A rating of a 7 is entirely justified, at least in my opinion.  
The pattern surrounding the tiny central minibrot may be highly 
fractured, but it is regular enough to make a recognizable, 
semi-organized minibrot basin.

The calculation time of 1-2/3 minutes is fast enough to leave 
time for fun or business.

Time-saving joy may be found at the FOTD web site at:

Heavy clouds, fog and drizzle spoiled the entire morning here at 
Fractal Central.  Some sun broke through in the afternoon, and 
the temperature reached 72F 22C, but by then the damage had been 
done and the fractal cats were in unhappy mode, demanding extra 
treats.  The humans had another un-notable day, one that was 
peaceful to experience but boring to read about.  The next FOTD 
will appear in a reasonable geologic time.  Until that wondrous 
moment arrives, take care, and debate the debate.
