Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

My web site is progressing, but I had no idea how much progress was needed.  Accurate time forecasts are futile, so all I can say is that the time is not too far off, and the wait will be worth the impatience.

Today’s image is another return to the world of 12 years ago.  I brought up the Mandnewt07 formula and set it loose to find today’s image.

I have no idea what this series of formulas was originally intended to do, but they certainly do make some interesting images, as today’s rather disorganized image demonstrates.

With more time I might have done a better coloring job.  As it is, I could rate the finished product no higher than a 5-1/2, which is just a tiny bit above average.

The name “Back to the Past” refers to the age of the generating formula.  The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes means little effort will be needed to run the parameter file.

The image may also be seen on the FOTD web site at:

My own web site will soon be coming at:

Tuesday here at Fractal Central featured morning sun, afternoon clouds, and light rain in the evening.  The fractal cats kept themselves busy chasing each other up and down the hallway.

My day was about average.  The next FOTD, likely an improved one, is scheduled to be posted in 48 hours.  If nothing goes wrong, it might appear on time.  Until whenever, take care, and I hear the duck has lost his job.
