FOTD -- June 18, 2005 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is located in the same general area of the same parent fractal that held yesterday's image. Today however we are examining a point in a node on a railroad track farther from any of the areas of chaos between the two large midgets. I named the image "Apricots, No Less". That's what I was reminded of when I first saw it. When the time arrived to rate it, I could give it nothing higher than a 6. The image renders in a zippy 1-1/2 minutes, making it worth the little effort required to run the included parameter file. For the convenience of those who do not render, the already- rendered GIF image is available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Perfect 77F 25C weather Friday made the cats very happy. Unfortunately, such happy cats make a very dull story. Today is starting the same, so I expect more happiness from the cats. For me the work is still slow. I almost feel like taking another 3-day vacation, but I will resist the temptation. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and where are we?
