Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
Today's image gives a far deeper peek into the eastern shoreline of the
north branch of Seahorse Valley of the Mandelbrot set. Since the
image lies deeper, it also runs far slower, requiring over 2-1/2 hours
on my worn-out old computer.
I neither named nor rated the image. True, the colors are
unusually intense, but it takes a little more than strong colors to
make a fractal memorable.
The image may be seen by giving this letter a name with a .par
extension and copying it in text format into your Fractint directory,
(or folder as they are now called), from where it may be run as any
other parameter file. The problem with this method is that it
will take at least an hour for the file to run.
There were a few more clouds here at Old Fractal Central on Wednesday,
and the temperature was a few degrees cooler, but the fractal cats
still considered the conditions perfect, and spent the entire afternoon
lurking in the holly patch.
I spent the entire afternoon packing my 1500 or so books into
cartons. The next task will be packing the equal number of video
tapes of junky old sci-fi and horror movies. The time of the
grand move to New Fractal Central is but a few weeks away. If all
goes well the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. After that it
may be a few days until the next glorious fractal appears. Until
tomorrow, take care, and maintain your patience.
