FOTD -- October 09, 2008 (Rating 6.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is located near a larger minibrot in a loop near the East Valley of the largest minibrot on the negative spike of the parent fractal, which resembles a Mandelbrot set. The large minibrot itself is quite unusual, and its 'East Valley' must be seen to be believed. I named the image "Three Dimensions" because the minibrot at the center is clearly a cubic one. The unusually rich pattern of the cubic minibrot earned the image a FOTD status. After a few seconds thought, I rated the scene at a 6.5. The bit of extra effort I put into the coloring earns the extra half- point. The calculation time of just over 1 minute will cause no one any pain. The trip to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> to view the finished image there, will be equally painless. Sun in the morning, clouds in the afternoon, and light rain in the evening marked Wednesday as a day that could have been better here at Fractal Central. The temperature of 63F 17C was just about normal. The fractal cats had a cussing spat over the best window shelf, but soon made up. My day had nothing of unusual interest to describe. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and walk with a fractal in your heart.
