FOTD -- September 15, 2010 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is another quick one. I intentionally chose a quick image in the Mandelbrot set to give myself a chance to get caught up. The name of today's image, "Way Out on the Spike", describes the location. The scene lies in a valley on the north shore line of the 12th bud out the main spike. The location is remote enough to earn a rating, in today's case, a rating of an average 5. The problem preventing a higher rating is that all minibrots out here tend to look the same. Of course, the problem might also be that I have never searched the area carefully enough. The calculation time of 2-3/4 minutes is already fast enough, but the image may be seen even faster by surfing to the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> and viewing the finished product there. The Tuesday conditions here at Fractal Central were described in the FOTD for Sep 14, which was posted a day late. Now we're pretty much caught up however, so things should continue on the normal schedule for a while. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and then do it again.
