FOTD -- January 31, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: To create today's parent fractal I combined negative Z^(-11.11) with 11 negative parts of Z^(-1.1) and added (1/C), clearly a play on the number 1. This parent fractal is a sprawling, over- sized thing with many large bays, a near-perfect Mandeloid, and a prominent 'fan' edged by a string of broken Mandeloid midgets. Today's image is located at the edge of the 'fan', near one of the larger midgets. The image is notable for the brilliancy of its colors, but despite the brilliancy, I declined to give it a name or rating. The calculation time of 13-1/4 minutes borders on slowness. Not to worry however. The already-calculated image is or soon will be posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where it may be viewed at leisure. A partly cloudy and mild day, with a temperature of 36F 2C, was spoiled at nightfall when a surprise snow squall left 1-1/2 inches (4cm) of snow on the ground. The fractal cats were so busy chasing each other that they never noticed the snow. My day was extremely busy. And the rush looks like it will con- tinue well into February. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep the FOTD on schedule, but only time will tell. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and enjoy life from the fractal perspective.
