This parent consists of two large ; but distorted Mandeloids with much chaos surrounding them. ; Today's scene lies in the East Valley area of the less-distorted ; Mandeloid. ; ; I named the image "Too Much to Endure" because of the vast ; amount of chaos in the scene. This chaos could have been ; reduced by using a broader color palette and turning on the ; logmap, but I wanted to emphasize the chaotic nature of the ; scene, and the way the chaos mingles with order. ; ; As so often happens, a midget lies at the center of the frame. ; It is a thoroughly average midget with little to brag about. As ; a result, and because the disorder is excessive, I can rate the ; image no higher than a 4. And the render time of almost 15 ; minutes is excessive. But this is the only chance you will ever ; have to see this particular midget, so take advantage of the ; opportunity while it still exists. ; ; The 15-minute wait for the image to render may be avoided by ; downloading the completed GIF image from: ; ; ; ; or from: ; ; ; ; The weather was pleasant enough here at Fractal Central on ; Tuesday, with adequate sun and a temperature of 54F 12C. The ; fractal cats enjoyed the conditions to the fullest, which at ; their advanced age is not very much. When settle-down time ; came, they were ready to settle down without complaint. But ; it's raining this morning. What this means to the cats has yet ; to be determined. ; ; As for myself, I've got a bit of work to get out of the way ; before the day ends, and the best way of doing it is to start. ; Until next FOTD, take care, and see you soon.
