[Fractint] FOTD 05-01-06 (Art Deco [5])

5 Jan 2006

      FOTD -- January 05, 2006 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

The bad news has me feeling down and negatively philosophical 
today, so the Fractint discussion will be brief.  I have said a 
few more words in the philofractal version, but those words are 
rather pessimistic.

Today's fractal is another average one.  As such it deserves 
average treatment and an average rating.  The parent fractal was 
created by combining negative portions of Z and (1/Z), and 
adding (1/C).  There is no logical reason for the name "Art 
Deco".  It simply came to mind.

The render time of 4-3/4 minutes is a bit slow for a fractal of 
merely average quality.  Luckily, or perhaps unluckily, the com-
pleted GIF image, ready for download, has been posted to the 
FOTD web site at:

The fractal cats are much happier than people who worry about 
fractals.  They do not concern themselves with the mysteries of 
numbers.  They were busy enjoying their afternoon in the yard 
on Wednesday.  Despite the clouds, the 46F 8C was warm enough 
for them to enjoy over two hours outdoors.  By the time the 
evening drizzle set in, they were safely inside.  My day was as 
average as the fractal.  Hopefully, the next fractal will be 
above average when it appears in 24 hours.  Until then, take 
care, and dwell on the mystery.
