FOTD -- July 25, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-2) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The low rating of the math part of today's image indicates that the expression Z^2+C, which creates the Mandelbrot set as well as today's image, is perhaps the oldest one in the fractal book. The scene lies in a minor valley of a small bud on the western edge of the large period-3 bud on the north shore of the main bay of the M-set. The name "Peaches and Plums" refers mostly to the peach-like colors of the circular basins surrounding the central minibrot. The calculation time of <30 seconds is true when the image is calculated with conventional math. Switching to arbitrary precision math produces an image with slightly better resolution, though instead of seconds, the calculation time will be hours. But as always, such monumental decisions may be avoided by viewing the finished image on the web sites. The finished image is posted online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Another picture-postcard-perfect day passed quietly here at Fractal Central today. The fractal cats fully enjoyed the temperature of 77F 25C, while the fractal humans enjoyed the photoshop blue skies and white cottonpuff cumulus clouds. The next FOTD will be posted before the world's oldest and most difficult question is answered. Until whenever, take care, and that question is why an all-good, all-powerful and all knowing god permits bad things to happen to good people.' Denying that God exists is an evasion of the question, not an answer.
