FOTD -- November 05, 2006 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: My leg may be colored with the browns, purples and blacks of a muddy piece of abstract art, but unlike today's image, there is no Mandelbrot set hidden in the center. Today's sinuous fractal lies in the parent fractal that results when a little Z^(-1.1) is subtracted from some Z^(1.1) and (1/C) is added. The sinuous effect was achieved by rendering the image with the outside set to 'real'. I named the image "Casually Speaking" for no apparent reason. I gave it far too little effort to be worth a rating. The brief render time of 3-1/2 minutes will try the patience of no one, especially when the finished image is viewed on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 39F 4C made things pleasant enough outdoors here at Fractal Central on Saturday. But indoors the air was filled with occasional 'thumps' as I hobbled from room to room on my walker. The fractal cats don't quite know what to make of the device, and usually stay well out of my way. But when I settle into my easy chair and put the walker aside for a while, they are soon there to check things out. I hear that such injuries take up to 8 weeks to heal in vigorous young people, and I have not been one of them for quite a while. Well, all I can do for now is keep nursing my bum foot and leg, and keep thumping around. Unless another bout of the blues comes on, and I start feeling sorry for myself, the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and hop with the bunnies.
