July 15, 2011: A Simple Diversion | July 13 | July 17 | 2011 | FOTD Home |
Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
Today's image earns a rating of a mere 4, which I admit is below
average. It is simply another everyday scene in East Valley
of
the Mandelbrot set. The actual location is in the Seahorse
Valley
of the large minibrot on the shoulder of the period-18 elephant on the
south side of East Valley.
I did put a small extra effort into the coloring, though not enough to
earn the standard half-point bonus.
The name "A Simple Diversion" describes the image, which came about
almost accidentally as I noodled at the fractal keyboard.
The calculation time of an even 10 seconds will put no time pressure on
even the busiest fractalist.
Thursday and Friday here at Fractal Central were virtually identical,
with lots of sun, wispy clouds, low humidity and a temperature of a
comfortable 84F 29C. Conditions were so pleasant that the
fractal
cats passed the chilly morning hours curled in their cold weather
positions.
Little of note happened in the human world, but not so with fractals,
which always have existed and always will exist. If fractals
are
merely an invention of the human mind however, they have no reality at
all, and will cease to exist with the demise of the last person who
knows about them.
The next FOTD, for better or worse, will be posted in 48
hours.
And it should not be too long before we return to the every-day
schedule. Until next time, take care, and maybe fractals are
not
the only semi-real things that are creations of the human mind.
