The parent fractal is a Mandeloid with ; several bays and an extremely long main filament. A prominent ; midget lies about midway out this filament. This midget is ; shaped much like the entire parent fractal, with several bays. ; Today's scene lies rather deep in one of the valleys that ; separate the bays. ; ; I named the image "Valley Scenery", since it is little more than ; a snapshot of what exists deep in a valley of a midget in a ; Mandeloid of order 1.3. The tiny midget at the center of the ; image is almost an accidental intruder. It has little to do ; with the main part of the image, which is little more than a ; collection of mostly random bits and pieces. ; ; One tiny bit of interest exists near the edges of some of the ; larger pieces of fractal stuff in the foreground, where comb- ; like features appear to be sprouting. There could be a bit of ; excitement in one of these combs, but the entire area is too ; slow for convenient exploration. ; ; The rating of a 6 might be a bit overdone. One thing definitely ; overdone however is the calculation time of over 1-1/2 hours. ; But the wait may be avoided by visiting the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; I sent the image on ahead to Paul at the FOTD web site about an ; hour ago, so it should be posted for viewing very soon. ; ; Friday was the fourth near-perfect day in a row here at Fractal ; Central, with lots of sun, gentle winds, and a high temperature ; of 84F 29C. The big excitement for the fractal cats came in the ; morning, when a lovesick tomcat wandered by, calling out for any ; lady cat within hearing. The local fractal lady cat, Cassie, ; seemed unimpressed by the scraggly intruder. My day was about ; average, though an extra long lunch did put the real work a bit ; behind. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, ; take care, and be fractally oriented. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Valley_Scenery { ; time=1:38:39.11--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC2 passes=1 center-mag=-1.49558348566892000/-5.297525258181361\ 00/1.145386e+007/1/112.5/2.16309381435852988e-006 params=1.3/0/13/525 float=y maxiter=25000 inside=0 logmap=1300 periodicity=10 colors=000602704806908A0AB0CC0ED0GE0IF0KG0LH0MI0NJ\ 0OK0PM0QP0SR0UU0WW0YZ0__0ac0dd0ff0hh0hh0hi0hi0hk0h\ k1hm2hm5ho7hoAfpCfpDfrGfrIftKfvNfvOfwSfwTfyVfyYdz_\ dzadzcdzedzgdzidzkdzmezoezqfzsgyujxwlwxovyquzttzvz\ flzdmzcmzcmzamz_kyYkyXkwXkwVjvTjvSjtShrQhrOhpNhpLf\ oLfoKfmIdmGdkGdkFdiDciCchCchAaf8af7ad5ac5_c4_a2_a1\ Y_1Y_0YZ0YZ0XX0XX0XW0VW0VU0VU0VS0TS0TR0TS0VR0TR0TP\ 0TP0TO0TO0SM0SM0SK0SK0SJ1SJ1QH2QH4QG5QG7QG8QEAOECO\ DDODFOCGOCIOAINA0N98N9GN8ON8QN6SL6Tv6LL5Zd55L4_L4_\ K2aK2cK1dK1fK0hK0jI0kI0mI0ZI0zI0nn0jarzn0nI0nK1mK1\ mK2kK4kL5kL6jLczm8hN9hNAfNCfODdOEdOznOGcQHcQJaQKaQ\ M_SM_SOYSPYSRYTznnSXTUVVWVVXTVZTV_SX_SXaSXcQXdQYfO\ YhOYhN_iN_kL_mL_oLapKapKarIatIcvGcwGczFazGcwGcrGdo\ KdiPffUfcZfZchWhhRmjOrjJvkGzkDzk9zm6zm2zn0zn0zn5zn\ AznFznKzjPzcUzXZzQczKhzDmz7rz1vz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz\ 0zz0zz0zz0zzDzzDzzCzzCzzC } frm:MandelbrotBC2 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100, p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*floor(p/(2*PI)), r=real(p2)-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
