FOTD -- February 25, 2009 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I've recovered enough to visit fractal land, but not quite enought to be fully back on my feet. Today's image was a quick and easy find. With my health still borderline and the work backed up, the image is a quickie, with obvious East Valley characteristics. I named it "Elephant Playground" because of the bits and pieces of elephants and sub-elephants that fill it. The rating of a 6 is close to my opinion of the image, though the calculation time of 10-2/3 minutes is a bit more than the image is worth. All problems may be eliminated however by surfing to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and viewing the fully rendered image there. The cold but bright days continue here at Fractal Central, while the fractal cats continue their vigil in the sunny window, watching for whatever fractal cats watch for. The next FOTD will likely be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and implicate the expletive.
