FOTD -- May 04, 2005 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is simply a scene in the fractal created by the formula Z^(1.5)+C. I chose it because the midget at the center is unusually interesting for one created by the exponent 1.5. It is so interesting that I rated it at a 7. The name "Musette Melody" invokes images of the green hills of Scotland, with the sound of distant bagpipes drifting on the wind. It has little to do with the appearance of the image. The 4-3/4 minute render time is fast enough for all but the most impatient fractalists, or those with Fractint-challenged machines. Those who would not or can not render will find the finished image posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The weather on Tuesday here at Fractal Central was not perfect. The temperature reached only 59F 15C, the wind blew, and the sun shone only part of the time, but the fractal cats made the most of the less-than-perfect conditions, and enjoyed over three hours adventure in the holly thicket. My day was uneventful. Today promises to be a repeat. The FOTD will also be repeated in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be wise.
