FOTD -- December 07, 2002 (Rating 2)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
On some days you just can't find a good fractal. That's what I told myself as I reluctantly designated today's abysmal image as FOTD for Dec. 7. My alibi is that, though I had expected a slow day on Friday, a pile of unexpected work arrived, and after snow- removal duty, I was left with basically zero time to devote to fractals. But even a much-below-average image is better than no image at all.
Today's image is a zoom into the 'New View' image of Dec. 4. To add a bit of life to an otherwise lifeless scene, I colored the image with the inside areas set to < fmod . I named the resulting mess "FMOD Modules".
The result vaguely resembles a surreal landscape, with stretched and tortured shapes hanging in the sky above the straight horizon. In the foreground, an eroded, brilliantly yellow peak juts upward from nowhere, while in the distance, mysterious features lurk.
The preceding paragraph is an exercise in saying something about nothing.
