[Fractint] FOTD 06-01-10 (Rising Mist-Sprite [7.5])

7 Jan 2010

      FOTD -- January 06, 2010 (Rating 7.5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Things are still running behind here at Fractal Central, which 
makes it necessary to take a break of a few days in the FOTD to 
give me a chance to clear away the piled-up work.  The next FOTD 
will be posted on January 11.

Meanwhile, today's very-low-order minibrot is certainly worth a 
peek.  I named it "Rising Mist-Sprite" because it reminds me of 
a wisp of spirit-vapor rising from a witches' cauldron.  I rated 
the image at a 7.5, the extra half-point being a reward for the 
coloring effort.

The calculation time of 5-2/3 minutes is a bit slow, but the 
result is worth the effort.  And as always, those with no time 
or with new-fangled, DOS-deprived machines may avoid the calcula-
tion altogether by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web 
site at:

Today here at Fractal Central began with 1 inch, 2.5cm of fresh 
fluffy snow.  The snow ended by 10am, leading to a partly cloudy 
afternoon with a temperature just above freezing.  The fractal 
cats watched the action from the front window as I swept away 
the fluffy snow.  Then they retired to their chosen sleeping 
places for the better part of the day.  Because of a backlog of 
work which must be cleared away, the next FOTD will be delayed 
until January 11.  Until then, take care, and live life.
