[Fractint] FOTD 05-05-11 (Eight Bells and All's Well [5])

5 May 2011

      FOTD -- May 05, 2011 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

I found today's image when I added just a dust mote of Z^11 to 
0.4 part of Z^2.  The parent fractal is a distorted Mandelbrot 
set facing east, surrounded by various holes and fields of 
debris.  This M-set has a string of holes extending from its 
East Valley, (which is on the west side), out toward the west, 
where it runs into a larger underlying fractal that is mostly 
hidden, and dissipates.

I named the image "Eight Bells and All's Well" because of the 
eight bell-shaped holes surrounding the central minibrot.  The 
rating of a merely average 5 shows that I am not very impressed 
by the image.

This time, the 'fmod' outside option came to the rescue, adding 
just enough to the scene to enable me to grant it the honor of 
being declared FOTD for a day.

The calculation time of just over 4 minutes may drag for those 
not totally fascinated by the magic of numbers.  For these 
stragglers I suggest a trip to the FOTD web site at:

      <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>

where the finished image may be viewed in all its pristine glory.

The image is available in hi-def at:

Wednesday began with rain here at Fractal Central, making the 
fractal cats turn sulky, but by mid-morning the rain ended and 
by midday the sky brightened.  A few glimpses of afternoon sun 
brought a temperature of 55F 13C and a glimmer of hope for 
better days to come.

Another typical day passed uneventfully in the human department. 
After last evening's downpour, FL had a bit of garden repair to 
do.  I took it as easy as possible, though for me this means far 
from being idle.  The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  
Until then, take care, and let's fight the budget deficit by 
cutting spending on someone else's favorite project.
