FOTD -- May 23, 2005 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I tried to make something of the Julia aspect of the 'Miracle' fractal that appeared on May 17, but to no avail. All is not lost however, for the Rectangular aspect of the scene proved to be quite interesting, completely transforming the original diamond into a vague safety-pin shape. It is this Rectangular aspect that appears as today's FOTD. I picked up the color palette from the original 'Miracle' image, applied it to today's image, and named the result "Rectangular Miracle". An honest evaluation of the image convinced me that it was worth a rating of no more than a 5, but I rated it at a 6 anyway. Those who choose to run the included parameter file will wait around 4-1/2 minutes to view the distorted miracle. Those with the most modern machines will view it in a minute or so, that is unless their state-of-the-art fireball machines are Fractint challenged, in which case they will need to visit the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and download the completed image from there. Near perfect weather made for saintly cats here at Fractal Central on Sunday. Unfortunately, being saintly is not much fun, so there is little activity to report. The duo spent the day quietly in the holly patch. Today is starting with increa- sing clouds and forecasts of afternoon rain. The cats had best take their daily outing early. For me the work is on the light side. If I don't turn totally lazy, this could mean a superior fractal for tomorrow. Until then, take care, and prepare for the infinite.
