Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
Well, the cool air is up and running again here at FC, and in a day or
two, things should be back to normal. Until then, we will have a
couple undistinguished but still pleasant fractal images to enjoy.
The parent fractal of today's image is a strange thing that came about
when I combined 3 parts of Z^(-3) with 7 parts of Z^(-1.5) and added
(1/C). It is best described as a single large rectangular bay
with rounded corners, surrounded by a cloud of satellite
minibrots. Today's image is located in the Seahorse Valley of one
of these satellites on the east side of the main bay.
The name "Diamond Festival" is one of those phrases that seems to have
a deep between-the-lines meaning. Actually, it has no inner
meaning at all. I chose it simply because, like the old song
'Stairway to Heaven' it causes the ears to perk up and the mind to
exercise itself searching for a deep meaning that does not exist.
The rating of a 6 is not too bad considering that we're still
struggling here at FC to get caught up in the work that backed up while
the cool air was down.
The calculation time of 3-3/4 minutes will pass in somewhat less than a
flash.
With a high temperature of 95F 35C here at Fractal Central on Friday,
and more clouds obscuring the sun, I guess one might say the heat wave
was broken. But the higher humidity made it every bit as
uncomfortable as Thursday, when the official high was 104F 40C.
The only good news was the high humidity, which makes rain more
likely. (We have a pretty serious drought in progress here at FC
in Central Pennsylvania, and the farmers are praying.)
The fractal cats spent the morning on the cool tile floor in the
kitchen. When the air conditioning finally came on in the
afternoon, they shifted to the cool air vent. My day was quite
busy getting caught up in the work. The next FOTD will be posted
in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if reality is not real,
then what is it?
