Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
Today's fractal is a pleasant diversion, a non-assuming image that
promises little and delivers all of what it promises. The
star-like scene lies in the 'East Valley' of the parent fractal that
appeared as the FOTD for May 30. But it lies much deeper in
the
valley than yesterday's FOTD image, which also lies in the same East
Valley.
I have no idea where the rating of 7-1/2 came from, but it seems about
right, so why not go with it.
The name "Mandy Points the Way" is an equal mystery, since today's
parent fractal hardly resembles the Mandelbrot set.
The calculation time of just over 1-3/4 minutes is brief by any
standards, though not as brief as the lifetimes of certain subatomic
'resonance' particles, which exist for such infitesimal periods of time
that they don't really exist at all.
Midsummer conditions continued here at Fractal Central on Monday, with
hot but hazy sun, high humidity and a temperature of 93F 34C.
Early in the day the fractal cats sought the coolness of the tile floor
in the kitchen, and stretched out there most all afternoon.
FL
spent the day puttering in her garden. I spent the day
watching
her putter and offering occasional helpful advice. The next
FOTD,
a moderately deep look into the M-set, will be posted in 24
hours. Until then, take care, and those with sharp tongues
often
make blunt statements.
