[Fractint] FOTD 23-11-05 (On a Windy Hill [7])

23 Nov 2005

      FOTD -- November 23, 2005 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's fractal image shows a tree clinging to a high and windy 
hill, so I named it "On a Windy Hill".  Well, actually it shows 
an entire Julia set of the Z^1.15 Mandeloid as it appears 115 
levels up the complex-log hyperspiral.  The windy hill of the 
name, and the tree as well, are only figments of my imagination.

But sometimes figments can be quite attractive, as today's image 
shows.  One can almost feel the brisk east wind blowing along 
the ridge top from the right.  And yes, I realize that the 
colors of the tree are unusual, but the tree is located on an 
alien planet, so this is no problem.

When the time arrived to rate the image, I decided on a rating 
of 7.  I rather like the image of a tree with dark blue branches 
and dull red flowers.  The render time of a very brief 66 
seconds helped justify the rating of a 7.  Most of the speed is 
due to the unusually low maxiter of 50.  The low maxiter is 
needed to keep the background sky from filling in with too much 
debris.

But speed is of no importance to machines with a Fractint 
phobia, which will never know the joy of running Fractint.

Occasional rain, cold 41F 5C temperatures, and high winds, made 
Tuesday totally hopeless for the duo of fractal cats.  Realizing 
that they would not be able to enjoy their usual outing, they 
settled themselves on the shelf by the double window to pass the 
day dreaming and wishing.  An extra treat of tuna in the early 
afternoon helped ease their distress.  My day was moderately 
busy, with nothing to set the day apart from hundreds of similar 
days.  The next glorious FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  Until 
then, take care and search for the real.
