FOTD -- September 28, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image returns us once again to the same parent fractal that was the source of the past 2 days' images, where we check what I assume is the Seahorse Valley area of a large Mandeloid. The underlying fractal forms in today's image are unusual, but with too little time to color it properly, I feel I have missed the best part. After spending over five minutes trying to decide how to rate the image, I decided not to rate it at all. I named the picture "Richest-Field Image" because the colors are some of the richest and most excessive I have seen in a fractal. But sometimes excessive colors can be a good thing, so take a look. You might like what you find. The calculation time of 3-2/3 minutes can be cut to almost nothing by going to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and viewing the finished image there. If today's image is not yet posted on the web site, check back in a little while. It soon will be posted. Another too-warm-for-the-season day here at Fractal Central on Thursday ended with a bang at 7pm, when a heavy thunder-storm moved in. The fractal cats took the heavy weather bravely. My day was busier than I would have liked, but still well under control. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and keep waiting for the arrival of the great fractal.
