A busy day yesterday and I didn't get to post. This must not become a habit.
       Art and algorithm. Two images are posted at http://maxitersfractalfollies.blogspot.com.
 One is a fractal the other is the painting "The Great Wave" by the Japanese artist Hokusai.
 The similarity in designs is intriguing.
