Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today we stay with the same fan that appeared in the image of two days ago, but instead of delving into the edge of the blade, we have checked the handle.  What we find there is a curious kind of bud with a filament extending into a kind of 'star'.  Today's image lies near the point where the filament terminates at the center of the star.

I named the image "Fanning Out" because instead of concentrating on the fan blade, we are broadening our horizon to include the handle of the fan.

The rating of an 8 shows that by broadening our horizon we have found a better image.  The calculation time of under 5 minutes is slower that what I consider ideal, but the image that will appear makes it all worth the effort.

And if Paul is still on the road to recovery, the finished image will soon be available on the FOTD web site at:

Morning clouds, afternoon sun and a temperature of 43F +6C made Sunday a rather pleasant day here at Fractal Central.  The fractal cats, being cats, passed the sunny afternoon on their shelf in the southwest window, keeping comfortably warm.  My day was uneventful.  The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. 

Until then, take care, and I hear that in 50 years, technology will have solved all our problems, including global warming.  If anyone doubts this, all they need do is ask those in snowbound Europe how worried they are about global warming right now.
