The promised deep philosophy will ; hopefully appear in the next philofractal version of the FOTD. ; ; Today's hastily-found image is a scene deep in the East Valley ; of a large midget on the northwest shore of the main bay of the ; Mandelbrot set. But, looking at the image, I see more seahorse ; tails than elephant trunks, so I named it "Seahorse Elephants". ; ; Such an easily found image can hardly be great. I rated it at ; an average 5. The render time of a somewhat slow 14 minutes ; gives it an overall worth of a slightly-improved 36. The ; finished image may be found on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The sun did break through here at Fractal Central on Friday ; afternoon, and the temperature reached a high of a quite balmy ; 59F 15C. The fractal cats had a great day in the yard, though ; they grew cautious when a flock of about 20 crows descended to ; feast on some garbage that had spilled from a nearby trash ; can. (Cats of the fractal variety prefer their birds sparrow ; size.) ; ; Today looks like it will be another great one. The new year is ; getting off to a fine start for the dynamic duo. For me, it's ; an evening of watching the games on TV, and then exploring in ; Fractal Land. The next fractal will appear in 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, and keep taking care all the new year. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Seahorse_Elephants { ; time=0:14:02.12--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-0.59633973190693720/+0.662725633386483\ 30/9.910374e+012/1.0000/-20/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=400000 bailout=9 inside=0 logmap=-6400 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=/1 colors=000ZllZmmbmmdmpcnrfovgpwjpzkMmeLm_LmVKmPKmK\ JmEJm9JnFHdLFVRDMUBCUA3HmZHmZKmZPmZUm_Zl_Uk_Pk`Kk`\ Ij`Ij`IjaJjaJhaJhaJhbJhbJgbJfbKfcKfcKecKedKedKddKc\ dLceLceLceLbeLbfLafMafM`gM`gM`gM`gM_hM_hN_hN_hNZiN\ ZiNZiNZiNYjOYjOYjOYkOXkOXkOXkPXlPWlPWlPWlPWmPVmPVm\ QVnQVnQUnQUnQUoQUoQToRToRTpRTpRSpRSpRSqSSqSRqSRrSR\ rSRrSQrSQsTQsTQsTPsTPtTPtTPtqAupBvpBwpBxpBypBzpBzo\ BzoBzoBzoBzoBzoCzoCznCz6Vz8Vz9YzB`zCczDfz9Sz5Uz1Wz\ 3Yz5_z7`z9azBbzCczEczGczIczKczLczOczRczTczWbzYZz`V\ zcQzeMzhIzjEzjEzjEzjFzjFziFziFziFziFziFziFziFzhFzh\ FzhFzhGzhGzhGzhGzgGzgGzgGzgGzgGzgGzn_zqbzpczpdzpez\ ofzofzogzohzniznjznjzmkzmlzmmzmmzllzllzkkzkkzjjzjj\ ziiziizigzifziezidziczibziazi_ziZziYziXziWziVziUzf\ TzdTzbSz`SzZSzWRzURzSRzQQzOQzLPzJPzHPzFOzDOzBOzAXz\ AdzAlzCkzEjzGjzIizKhzLhzNgzPgzRfzTezUezWdzYcz_czab\ zbbzRUzL`zFhz9oz3vzFozQiz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
