FOTD -- June 21, 2008 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Wow! What a fractal! Talk about over-qualified! This is one of the most bombastic fractal images I have ever seen. It has no idea where to stop. The super-abundance of detail is so overdone that it actually detracts from the rating, which I could set at no more than a 5. The image is a scene in the Mandelbrot aspect of the East Valley of the same parent Julibrot that has supplied the past two days' images. I named the image "In Alien Territory", though I'm not sure where this alien territory is found. I used no gimmicks to produce the overwhelming detail in the image, which was rendered with the inside set to the color zero and the outside set to display equal-iteration bands. All the excitement lies in the numbers of the image itself. The calculation time of just over 3 minutes should give no one a case of impatience. And for even more convenience, the finished image is or soon will be posted for instant viewing on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A routinely pleasant day prevailed here at Fractal Central on Friday, with partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 77F 25C. The fractal cats noticed the conditions, then continued eating their dinner. My day was once again busier than I would have preferred, but not so busy as to affect the attention I gave to the FOTD, which failed to fulfill my hopes on its own account. The next FOTD is due to be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and look before you iterate.
