FOTD -- May 28, 2009 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the same parent fractal that held yesterday's image. But today, instead of checking the northwest shore line of the southernmost bay, we check the area around a small bud on the west shore line of the middle bay. What we find there is of mild to moderate interest, a scene which, in my opinion, rates a 7. I named the image "Fiery and Furious", but even though it's a rather fiery scene, I can find nothing very furious in it. The calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes will pass in the blink of an eye, which is probably around 1/25 of a second. This means that around 3,750 eye blinks will be required to finish the calculation. With this many blinks in mind, I recommend going to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and saving those blinks by viewing the already-finished image posted there. The rain ended and the temperature rose to a more seasonal 64F 18C here at Fractal Central on Wednesday. But the heavy low clouds hung tough and the fractal cats showed their displeasure. As for work, I finished it in half a day. FL spent a good part of the day working in the garden. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be of sound mind and light body.
