[Fractint] FOTD 15-07-10 (Mysterious Depths [8])

15 Jul 2010

      FOTD -- July 15, 2010 (Rating 8)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image takes us deep into the large period-3 north bud of 
the strange minibrot in yesterday's FOTD image.  The name "Mys-
terious Depths" refers to the strange things found there.

I am not sure if images such as today's are real fractals or 
artifacts of mathematical imprecision, but whatever they are, 
they make some very interesting fractals.

The rating of an 8 is based on the mathematical interest.  The 
artistic value is little more than average.

The image calculates in 3 minutes, fast enough to keep boredom 
away and slow enough for a fractalist to work up a little 
anticipation.  The image may also be seen on the FOTD web site 
at:

       <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>

where it is posted in finished, ready-to-view form.

Over one inch, 3cm, of rain fell here at Fractal Central over-
night Tuesday.  The local farmers say this certainly did not 
end the drought, but it did bring immediate short term relief.  
The rain shortage for the year is still over 10 inches, 25cm.

The clouds cleared away early Wednesday afternoon, letting the 
temperature reach 84F 29C.  The fractal cats must have approved 
of things.  They were unusually active most of the afternoon.

My day was busy, but under control.  The next FOTD will be 
posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and be lucky.
