July 26, 2010: Nothing At All July 25
July 27 2010 FOTD Home
  Rating 7

nothing

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Someone once told me that there is nothing to be found in fractals with negative exponents of Z.  Well, today I checked the Z^(-2)+C fractal and found nothing.  Today's image shows the nothing that I found.  The name "Nothing At All" confirms the nothingness.

Actually, the image is not a Mandeloid.  It is rotated 30 degrees toward the oblate direction, and has quite a bit of stretching and skewing included.  The 5-pointed, rounded star-like elements are something entirely new in my experience.

It's hard to give a rating to nothing, but if something were there, it would have rated a 7.  Assuming something actually is there, I rated the image at a 7 despite its blatantly feminine pastel-pink appearance.

A muggy cloudy morning was followed by heavy midday rain and a pleasant afternoon here at Fractal Central on Sunday, with lots of afternoon sun, lower humidity and a temperature of 81F 27C.  The fractal cats slept through most of it.  My day was lazy.

The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and one can never be wrong if they know what is right.
