May 1, 2011: A Turquoise Cousin | April 29 | May 2 | 2011 | FOTD Home |
Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
Today's
image is
named "A Turquoise Cousin". The reason for the word
'turquoise'
is obvious; the reason for 'cousin' is less apparent.
Actually,
the minibrot at the center is not a pure quadratic, only a close cousin.
The parent fractal was created by the formula Z^(1.98)+C calculated
1.98 levels up the hyper-ladder, with no function applied.
This
parent closely resembles a Mandelbrot set that has been rotated so that
its main bud faces southeast, a position that puts its large south bud
on the northeast side of the main bay. Today's scene lies in
a
small blunt valley jutting into this bud.
The rating of an 8.5 includes a half point bonus for the cool
coloring. At least the colors look pretty cool to me, almost
like
a mint. The calculation time of just over 1-1/2 minutes is
very
near FOTD average, and is a bargain for an image rating an 8.5.
Friday here at Fractal Central began with a light shower, followed by
clouds and occasional sprinkles the rest of the day. A brisk
wind
and temperature of 57F 14C made it feel quite chilly, especially after
the summer-like warmth of the past several days. The fractal
cats
remained well under control most all day, though Nicholas worried us a
few times for an extra treat of cheese. Saturday brought more
sun, a temperature of 68F 20C and contented cats.
While all this was happening, the humans' days were
acceptable.
The next FOTD is scheduled to be posted in 24 hours. As
always
however, I make no guarantee that it will actually be ready on
time. Until whenever, take care, and how can we determine the
secrets of the universe when we don't even know what we are or how we
came to be here?
