December 5, 2011: In a Fractal Garden | Dec. 4 | Dec. 6 | 2011 | FOTD Home |
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today's
brilliant
turquoise image is the third consecutive one with a rating of an
8-1/2. Perhaps a trend is setting in.
The parent fractal, which is shaped like an upside-down heart, (Those
with dirty minds might see something else.), came about when I
subtracted 2 parts of Z^(-1.5) from Z^(0.5) then added straight C on
every iteration. This parent lies off the default opening
screen
to the southwest, making an outzoom necessary to bring it into view.
Most of the action lies in the valley at the southern edge of the main
bay of the parent. Although the valley's position bears
little
resemblance to the place in a Mandeloid where the East Valley might be
expected, the valley's 'east valley' characteristics are revealed by
the typical goofy eyes around the edges of the frame.
The name "In a Fractal Garden" was inspired by the detailed ring
surrounding the central minibrot, which appears to be a wreath of
flower blossoms.
The unusually brilliant coloring is of my own creation and earns the
extra half point in the rating.
The calculation time of 2 minutes is a pretty good estimate.
The
missing seconds and hundredths of a second are trivial.
Clouds were on the increase here at Fractal Central today, though the
sunny intervals let the temperature reach 54F 12C. The
fractal
cats, who were more concerned with being generously fed, ignored the
outside conditions.
The humans passed the day doing human things, which might seem dull and
boring, but works well. The next FOTD will be posted in 24
hours. Until then, take care, and Atheists claim that the
natural
world, (the one we can observe with our senses and detect with our
scientific instruments), is the only thing that exists. I
agree
with this, but it is no proof that there is no God or anything else
beyond our present range of detection. If we ever did find
something such as heaven, it would become just another part of the
ever-expanding 'natural world'.
