[Fractint] FOTD 22-09-11 (Wine-Dark Fractal [6.5])

23 Sep 2011

      FOTD -- September 22, 2011 (Rating 6.5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image is a scene that I originally passed by on the way 
to the 'Primed for Growth' image of 3 days ago, September 19.  I 
return to the area today because I originally saw in it some 
FOTD potential.  The image is located in one of the two East 
Valleys of a small Mandeloid just west of the main Mandeloid of 
the parent fractal.

I named today's image "Wine-Dark Fractal".  The background 
colors remind me of light passing through a bottle of red wine.  
The name also creates an ancient Greek atmosphere, and as we 
know, those classic Greeks were quite big on geometry.

The image itself has an overall dark, subdued appearance, with 
curved strips of brilliantly colored confetti standing out like 
fireworks in the night sky.

The rating of a 6-1/2 could be on the conservative side, but the 
fact that this is the second expedition into the same fractal 
area knocks a point off the rating.

The calculation time of just under 2 minutes will take the 
frustration out of the calculation task.

Enjoy the image without the need to calculate it by visiting the

Overnight rain ended by daybreak today here at Fractal Central, 
leading to a cloudy, muggy day with a temperature of 79F 26C.  
All of this must have agreed with the fractal cats, who have no 
idea of their fractal nature and seemed unusually relaxed.

Being a human, (at least the last time I checked), I found the 
day a bit too routine and slightly boring, but that's how it 
seems to go in the second half of life.  FL found her excitement 
worrying about the economic situation.  The next FOTD will be 
posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and 100 years from 
now we'll be asking, 'where were you when the end came'?
