FOTD -- May 04, 2011 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is another scene in the same parent fractal that produced yesterday's image. For a try at something different, I first found a deep minibrot, then raised the bailout radius to one-googol, which evaporated the entire fractal. Then I brought the fractal ghost back to life with the 'bof61' inside fill. The result appears as today's image, which I have given the not- too-inspired name of "Forest Greenery". The rating of a 5 indicates that I consider the image to be merely average. Yes, I know that I would make a pretty poor fractal salesman, but in the FOTD world, honesty is more important than profit. With its slow calculation time of over 13 minutes, today's image will try the patience of those with today's trendy but short attention spans. Instant relief for the time-stressed may be found on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> and in hi-def at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The classic web site may be found at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> A mix of hazy sun and clouds, with a temperature of 81F 27C, made Tuesday feel more like June than May here at Fractal Central. A heavy thunder-storm ended the day with a bang. The fractal cats handled the warm weather by shifting into their summer stretch-out modes. FL shifted into gardening mode, while I offered a bit of moral support. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if religion offers fairy tales, then science offers consolation prizes.
