[Fractint] FOTD 29-09-08 (The Great Waves [?])

29 Sep 2008

      FOTD -- September 29, 2008 (Rating ?)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

There is not much to be said about today's image, which is a 
variation of the three most recent images.  It's all been said 
previously.  Today I applied the 'zmag' inside fill to the same 
scene and came up with an image that reminds me of rough surf at 
the beach.  When I named the image "The Great Waves", perhaps I 
was thinking of the famous Japanese tsunami print.

In some ways the image seems good; in other ways it seems too 
much of a repeat.  And the colors are too jumbled also.  With 
such conflicting opinions I could not decide on a rating.  I let 
it go with a question mark.

The calculation time of just over 4 minutes will pass in a near 
instant when the image begins to unfold.  And downloading the 
finished image from the FOTD web site at:

       <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

is even faster.

Heavy rain fell all Sunday morning here at Fractal Central, 
giving a two-day total of about 6 inches or 15cm, while the 
temperature hung around a very humid 70F 21C.  I noticed a 
puddle of water leaking into the basement laundry room when I 
checked, but one puddle can't hope to compete with the floods 
that plagued old Fractal Central.  I must call my sister back at 
old FC in Baltimore, to see how the old basement made out.  Very 
heavy rain fell there also.

The fractal cats ignored the rain and stretched out on their 
favorite rugs.  When the last shower ended at 5pm, a brilliant 
double rainbow appeared in the east, ending the day in a blaze 
of glory and making up for all the rain.

Except for the rain, my day went without incident.  The FOTD was 
good enough to avoid disappointment.  The next FOTD, hopefully 
an improved one, will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take 
care, and when the aliens visited earth, the fractals they found 
here must have scared them off.
