[Fractint] FOTD 11-01-03 (Down Down Down [5])

11 Jan 2003

      FOTD -- January 11, 2003 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

For today's FOTD fractal I simply changed the 2's of yesterday's 
formula to 3's.  Some adjusting of real(p3) was necessary to 
produce a promising fractal.  The fractal that resulted is an 
oversized circle filled with debris.  Today's scene is located 
at the bottom edge of this bloated circle.

I named the image "Down Down Down" because while studying it for 
a name, I had the impression of looking down at the burning 
coals of a fiery pit, maybe not the pit ruled by Hades, god of 
the underworld, but fiery nonetheless.

The image has little going for it other than the effect of a bed 
of glowing coals toward the center, thus I could rate it no 
higher than a 5.  But, rendering as it does in less than 2 
minutes, the image at least will consume little of the time of 
those who choose to run the parameter file.

As always, the completed GIF image is available at:

The Friday weather was typical of the season here at Fractal 
Central, with clouds, sun, wind, flurries of snow, and a high 
temperature of 38F 3C.  Despite the chill, the fractal cats 
managed over an hour in the outdoors.  When they came in, they 
were both happy and hungry.

I have a relatively slow day ahead of me, which should give time 
for an above average fractal for tomorrow.  Until then, take 
care, and I've found a projective plane, but it's too large to 
fit on the shelf beside my Klein bottle.
