Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
Today's image is only the parent fractal of tomorrow's FOTD.
But
what a parent it is! How could I let such a visionary parent
fractal, with its hints of celestial wonders, go unrecognized?
Does the image really rate a celestial 9? In my opinion it
does,
even though most of the effect is a result of Fractint and my color
tweaking.
The name "Something to Enjoy" fairly describes the impression the image
will have on the viewer. And the calculation time of an
incredibly short 8 seconds will be over before the fractalist knows it
has begun.
But there is always the problem of fractalists with new fangled
over-qualified machines and operating systems that are afflicted with
DOS-phobia. These viewers may bypass the fun of running the
included parameter file by viewing the finished image on the
JackOfTradeZ web site at:
http://www.fractal-animation.net/fotd2.zip
The images will be posted there until the original web site at:
http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/
is again up to date. I have not yet checked to see how
quickly
the images will be posted to the new web site. There might be
a
day or so delay. At any rate, as soon as I get a break from
the
holiday rush, I will set up my own web site -- date and URL yet to be
determined.
Winter arrived in force here at Fractal Central on Monday as a band of
snow off Lake Erie moved in just after midday, bringing snow all
afternoon and well into the night. At post time about 4
inches
10cm of snow are on the ground and the intensity is
increasing.
The high temp of 30F -1C was just far enough below freezing to assure
that things got slippery. The fractal cats watched the big
fluffy
flakes with interest for an hour or so, then curled up by the heat to
sleep away the afternoon.
My day was average, though there is that snow on the sidewalk that I
will need to clear away. The next FOTD will be posted in 24
hours. Until then, take care, and the best fractals are yet
to
come.
