FOTD -- March 20, 2006 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's rather un-glorious fractal is the Julia set of what appears to be the Seahorse Valley area of the Z^(sqrt(2))+C Mandeloid as it appears at level minus-PI of the logarithmic spiral. The details of the fractal are of a Seahorse Valley nature, with the expected thick bulky spiral arms, but the overall shape is totally different. After careful consideration, I rated the image at a 6. After a little more consideration I decided not to name it. The render time of a couple minutes may be avoided by downloading the finished GIF image from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> On Sunday the fractal cats' outdoor time was limited once again by the chilly winds here at Old Fractal Central. Luckily, the evening tuna treat eased their displeasure. I actually managed to do almost nothing of value all day, which is the proper way to live at least a small part of one's life. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours. It might appear; it might not. Check back here in 24 hours to find out.
