Nov. 20, 2012: Elephant Caterpillar | Nov. 17 | Nov. 21 | 2012 | FOTD Home |
Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
The FOTD's have been coming few and far apart recently, and perhaps
they have not quite been up to FOTD standards. The reason is
simple -- there have been too many things to do here at FC and too
little time to do them.
Today's image is another distorted version of the Mandelbrot
set.
(As usual, the main bud is the shrunken thing on the west side of the
main bay.) I named the image "Elephant Caterpillar" because
the
location is deep in the north shore line of Elephant (aka East) Valley,
and the string of buds does rather resemble a caterpillar.
This string of buds is actually the northern period-37
radical.
It appears to lie on the eastern edge of the main bay, while in fact it
lies much deeper on the northern shore of East Valley.
The unusual proportions of the entire image were necessary to cut off
the infinite string of similarly distorted M-sets that lie above and
below the frame. Even then I needed to stretch the image
slightly
in the vertical direction.
The absence of a rating indicates that I cannot decide how to rate the
image.
The calculation time of 2 minutes is about what the scene is
worth. A better value may be found on the web sites however.
A mix of sun and clouds prevailed here at Fractal Central today, while
the temperature of 48F +9C kept things feeling seasonal. The
humans had a typical busy day. The next FOTD will be posted
when
the time is right. Until whenever, take care, and reality is
all
in the mind, so don't take life too seriously.
