I named the picture "Rising ; Alleluias" because of the eight elements surrounding the central ; midget, which appear, at least to me, like overweight people ; raising their arms in praise. ; ; I cannot say what the people are praising. It could be the ; immense and unlimited worlds of fractals, or the equally great ; physical universe, or perhaps the religious figure of their ; choice. It could even be science, which developed the machines ; that first revealed the worlds of fractals, and which some ; consider to be almost a religion. More thoughts along this line ; are included in the version of the FOTD that appears on the ; philofractal list. ; ; I rated today's image, which renders in under 7 minutes, at a 7, ; which gives an overall value of 104. The rendering stage can be ; eliminated by letting Paul do the rendering and downloading the ; finished image from his FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Wednesday remained cloudy and chilly here at Fractal Central. ; The temperature of 39F 4C was a bit too chilly for the cats' ; ears, and they spent the day wishing. In the evening a treat of ; tuna eased their frustration. ; ; My frustration will ease when the work I have scheduled for ; today is finished, and that will happen about 4 hours after I ; start. Then I'll take a trip to one of the infinite worlds of ; fractals. In 24 hours I'll return with whatever I find there. ; Until then, take care, and prepare for the best. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Rising_Alleluias { ; time=0:06:43.98--SF5 on a P200 reset=2003 type=manzpower passes=1 center-mag=-1.7\ 43238677909744/+0.00011432724916339/1.458905e+008/\ 1/177.5/-2.35020439424138416e-005 params=0/0/2.003\ /0 float=y maxiter=2000 inside=0 logmap=194 colors=000MDLNEMOHNPGNQHORIPSJRTKRVLSXMSZNSbOUdPWg\ QWjRVmRSoRQsSOvSLxSJzSGwWKtZOrbQodUmgWjj_hmbeoecsh\ `vkZxnczshzwkzzmzznzzozzpyzqzzrzzszztzzuzzvzzwzzxz\ zrzzmzzVzzbtziozqmzxczzVzwPzoJzgCz_6rR0hK0ZH0UG6UF\ CUAZUFdPKcKPhGUnHZuJcyKEdSLU_SJh_7oY5iW2cU0YS0RQ0L\ P0FR0CS4BVAAWF8YL7_Q6`W5b`2dg1ek0gr0iw0jz0kz0mz0nx\ 5ns8ooEqjJqeMrbRsYWsS_tOdvKivFmwArw6voJwhVx`gyUszO\ zzRxwUssWnoZik`chcZdgU`iPYkJUnEQq8Ms4Jv0FcZULzgKzh\ KzhKxhKvhKsiKqiKniKkiKijKgjKdjKbjK_jLYhLVgLSdLRcLP\ bMM_MLZMJWMGVMFUg6Wz0Yz8`zHdzQgz_jzhmzqqzyszttvotq\ jtmgthbtcYvZSvVPvQKvLFvHBvJEwJGwJJwJLwJOwJQxKSzKZz\ KczKgzKizKkzKnxPmrSkmWjh_icch_hgVkeQodLscGtbCt`Es_\ ErZEqYEoWEnVEmUEkUEjUFiUFhUFgUFeUFdUFcUFdUFeUEgUEh\ UEiUEjUCkUCmVCnWCoYBqZBr_Bs`Btb7vc5wd2xe0ye0ze0ze0\ ze6zeBzeHzeOzeSzeGze5ze6ze6ze7ze7ze8ze8zeAzeAzeBze\ BzeCzeCzeEzeEzeEzeMzeRzeY } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ;
