FOTD -- July 30, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I hope the fears that I am growing bored with fractals have been laid to rest. After sixteen years, I am still obsessed with the things. I doubt that I will ever be able to give them up entirely, but on occasion I do have other things to do that might hold the fractals at bay for a few days. I stumbled upon today's scene as I backed out of yesterday's image. Today's image is an even better example of the strange things that happen when apparently absurd expressions are iterated. The scene lies in the East Valley of its parent. Except around the edges, very little typical East Valley stuff is visible in the scene however. What we see instead is stuff of an entirely new nature, mixed with hills of anti-bifurcation, which I will soon investigate. The name "More East Confusion" indicates that the image is even more confusing than yesterday's. The ratings remain the same however. The calculation time of one minute will pass fast enough. And the web sites are always there to make fractal life even easier. The finished image is posted on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> with hi-def variations at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back images from long ago are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> And more images are available at: <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Another perfect day was appreciated by all here at Fractal Central today. It was a repeat of yesterday, with even more cottonpuff clouds. The fractal cat actually slipped into cool weather mode for an hour or two. The humans, always cool though not quite young, had a better day than yesterday. The next FOTD will be posted when a distance of 24 light-hours has passed on the time axis. Until whenever or wherever that might be, take care, and regardless of whatever is wrong, it's the other guy's fault.
