December 23, 2010: Spring Comes Early | Dec. 22 | Dec. 24 | 2010 | FOTD Home |
Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
Today (Dec 22) is the first full day of winter in this part of the
northern hemisphere, so what could be more appropriate than a screen
filled with pink apple blossoms, bringing a hint of the warmth that is
yet three months away.
I named the preview image "Spring Comes Early". It was
created
with the iterated expression Z^(-11)+11(1/Z)+C. The parent
fractal created by this expression must be seen to be believed.
In my opinion, the image is worth an above-average 7, a rating made all
the more worthwhile by the fireball calculation time of 27 seconds.
Those who run parameter files with difficulty can soon find the
finished image on the new FOTD web site maintained by Hal Lane at:
http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html
The original web site at:
http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/
maintained by Paul Lee is still there, but Paul has not been able to
update it for a while.
Sun, clouds and a temperature of 34F +1C made Wednesday a rather
pleasant day here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats soaked
up
the sun when it was shining on their window shelf and kept warm on
their shelf over the heat when it was not. My day was
typically
busy for a day three days before Christmas.
The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take
care,
and if spring and summer are coming soon up here, autumn and winter are
coming soon down there.
