FOTD -- March 26, 2010 (Rating *7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is named "Evaporated Splendor" because it's an evaporated image. The parent fractal, before it evaporated, was a typical double-negative thing consisting of a string of large bays with its filaments terminating in circles. Today's scene is located where a prominent filament on the eastern side of the largest bay meets its terminal circle. Fractal evaporation is what happens when the escape radius of a double-negative fractal is increased until the inside parts of the fractal totally vanish. All the points are ultimately trapped. But the vanished fractal leaves a kind of ghost behind, which can be made visible with an active inside fill such as the 'bof61' fill used in today's image. I had to add a star to today's rating of a 7 because I borrowed the image from an earlier FOTD fractal and reworked it only slightly. The calculation time of just over 2 minutes is well within reason. This wait may be done away with however by visiting the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> and viewing the finished image there. The partly cloudy skies let through enough sun here at Fractal Central on Thursday to keep the fractal cats happy. The unexpectedly warm temperature of 66F 19C kept the humans happy. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be in there with the big time thinkers.
