This ; formula draws two Mandelbrot sets touching butt-to-butt, with ; two East Valleys positioned as though they were 'North' and ; 'South' valleys. The position makes little difference in the ; appearance of the inner detail however. These two valleys are ; 'East' valleys all the way down. ; ; I chose a scene in a narrow part of an elephant-trunk spiral in ; the 'North' valley, and zoomed in on a midget there. The midget ; appears as today's FOTD. As can be seen at once, it is a ; typical East Valley midget, holding little that has not been ; seen before. As a result of this lack of originality I could ; rate the image no higher than a 6, even after putting some extra ; work into the colors. ; ; For some reason I named the picture "Fire in the Hole", most ; likely because of the fiery reds, oranges, and yellows. The ; phrase is the warning to take cover shouted by miners when the ; explosive is in the hole in the mine wall and the fuse is lit. ; I doubt that mine blasting is still done this way, though the ; warning cry might still be used. ; ; The image is not the best of all time, but with an overall value ; of 221 it is worth a look. The image may be seen by copying ; this message into your Fractint directory, with a .par exten- ; sion, and running it as any other parameter file, or by download- ; ing the image directly from the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A temperature of 50F 10C here at Fractal Central on Wednesday ; was marginal to say the least, but the bright sun and light ; winds made it bearable for the fractal cats, who passed several ; hours keeping the yard clear of invading tomcats. Only a small ; treat was needed to end their day on the up side. Today will be ; warmer; the duo should be happy. ; ; I see no potential problems arising in my department. The work ; is basically up-to-date, and the fractals keep coming. The next ; fractal will arrive in 24 hours, so check here at that time to ; see what appears. Until then, take care, and maybe we should ; organize a protest about fractal inequality. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Fire_in_the_Hole { ; time=0:02:43.62--SF5 on a P200 reset=2003 type=mandellambda passes=1 center-mag=+0.99031025554014310/+0.155570614457200\ 80/1e+007/1/180 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=2800 bailout=36 inside=0 logmap=184 periodicity=10 colors=000AkzAizAgzAezAczAazA_zGYzLWzQUzVSz_PzdEzi\ Bzl8zp2zl6zi9tfDpbGk_JfXNaTQXQTRLXNG_IBaD6b61d10f0\ 0g20i80kD0lI0nN0nT0nY0nb0pg0pl0kn0cz0bx4`w9_uEZsJX\ qJVoMTlMRiLPfJNdIKaGFYE9UD1QB0E509501A04G06N08T09_\ 0Da0Ef0Gl0Ir0Lw0Nz0Oz0Qz0Rz0Oz0Lz2Iz6Ez9BzD8zG4zL1\ zO0zR0zV0zY0zX0zZ0v_0q_0kY2dW9YTZURbPQgHOh8NgT4kY0\ lb0ig1fl3cq9awFazKXzNRzTNzYGzbBzg6zk1zm0zn0zn0zm0z\ k1zi2zi2zi4zi6zg6zg8zg9zg9zd8za6zY4zX2zT1zQ0zN0zL0\ zDVzGQzJLqNGmQDmT8mX2m_0mY1mY1mX1mX2mV2mTEmT2kT4gT\ 4dR4aR6YQ6_Q6_O8aO8bN8dN8dL9fL9gJ9gJBiIBkIBkGDlGDn\ EDnEEpDEqGEsJItNGtQGtTGtXGt_KtbPtfUsaZq_coYhmWmkUr\ iSwgQzgOxgMwgKtiIsiGpiEnkClkAkk8gk7fl8dl9blC_nDYmE\ XhHVcNRZRQUVOPZNKbJFfIAjG5nO0rN0qN0pL2qL8sLBtJEwJJ\ xJNzIRzIVzIYzGbzGfzGkzEnzEbzJfzIgzIizGkzGlzGnzEpzE\ qzOrzLszKtzKuzKvzKwzKxzKyzKzzKzzKzzKzzKzzKzzKzzKzz\ KzzKzzKzzKzzKzzKzzKzzKzzK } ; END PARAMETER FILE================================== ; ;
