FOTD -- May 25, 2008 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Since I was busy on Saturday, out having fun for a change, I had no time for a FOTD search. But to avoid fractal disappointment I resurrected a fractal that I found several weeks ago, and gave it a second chance. I named the image "Second Chance". One glimpse will show why it failed its first chance. The mixed-up fractal has little going for it but a random scattering of randomly colored elements rendered with the outside set to 'tdis'. I did not dare rate the image. I hate to give a fractal a rating of a negative number. I think the image is located in a string of holes down the center of a valley of its parent, but I'm not sure. One thing I am sure of however is the 3-1/2 minute calculation time on my fractal-dedicated 2000mhx machine. The time is automatically written in the parameter file. As almost always, the finished image is available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> F.L. and I made the most of the perfect weather that prevailed here at Fractal Central on Saturday, while the fractal cats complained about being left alone most of the day. The next FOTD will very likely be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, then seek and find.
