FOTD 31-10-10 (Shadow of the Wind [6])

31 Oct 2010

      FOTD -- October 31, 2010 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's rather harmless image lies in a valley of the fractal 
that results when various negative parts of Z^(-4.5) and Z(-1.7) 
are mixed together and (1/C) is added.  Like most fractals of 
this double-negative type, this parent fractal cannot be des-
cribed, though it may easily be seen by backing out of today's 
image.

I rated the image at a 6.  I searched for something to justify a 
higher rating, but nothing is there.

The name "Shadow of the Wind" has nothing to do with an old 
radio hero who could make himself invisible.  It's simply a 
phrase that came to mind from apparently nowhere.

The calculation time of 9 minutes means that the time required 
to run the parameter file is more than the resulting image is 
worth.  The problem may be eliminated by viewing the finished 
image on the FOTD web site at:

Too many clouds and a temperature of 54F 12C kept the fractal 
cats suppressed here at Fractal Central on Saturday.  My day was 
relaxing enough, though for some reason the Halloween trick-or-
treaters were out one evening early.  The next FOTD will be 
posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and if a spook 
spooks you, spook him back.  (They do exist, you know.  Whether 
they are real is another question.)
