April 23, 2012: Elephants Amok | April 22 | April 24 | 2011 | FOTD Home |
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Feeling
merciful, I
decided to rescue one of the several elephant images that were due to
be posted as the FOTD's for April 16, 17 and 18, but never made it
because of a health bug that we picked up here at FC.
The name "Elephants Amok" fairly describes the scene, which lies in the
East Valley area of the Z^2+C Julibrot, at an angle double rotated
0.2,0.2 degrees from the true Julia orientation.
At this weird angle, there is no relation between the elephants and the
remains of the Mandelbrot buds. The elephants have gone
totally
amok, which explains the name "Elephants Amok". Instead of
standing guard over their appointed buds, they are running madly about,
devastating everything in their path.
For some strange reason, the ghost bud on the left is being crushed by
a horde of baby elephants. Maybe they think the bud is their
mother. The rest of the elephants are wandering aimlessly
about,
apparently in a state of four-dimensional confusion.
But confused elephants are still elephants, and elephants are so common
that I could give the image no rating.
The time required to see the elephant disaster is a brief 1-3/4
minutes. The finished image may also be seen on the web sites.
Heavy clouds, occasional periods of light rain and a few wet snowflakes
made today a day to be forgotten here at Fractal Central. The
temperature of 43F +6C felt more like December than April, causing the
fractal cats to wonder where the heat was.
The humans, FL and I, had a typically average day. Our main
task
was simply getting through the time between the day's start and its
end. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.
Until then,
take care, and pay no attention to those rumors that the FOTD's are
becoming potboilers.
