I had a lazy day on Sunday. I took the ; easiest route available to fractal satisfaction -- I decided to ; go back to basics and examine the Mandelbrot set, a fractal ; guaranteed to be filled with good fractal scenery that can be ; found with a minimum of effort. ; ; With today's image, we remain in East Valley, the same place we ; visited in yesterday's odd-angle image, and examine it in the ; familiar Mandelbrot direction. We decide to check an elephant- ; trunk spiral. To keep things from slowing down, we don't wander ; too deeply into the valley or into the spiral. ; ; And there we find today's scene. It took me only a few minutes ; to fine-tune the colors enough to bring the image up to FOTD ; quality. ; ; I named the image "Into the Valley" for obvious reasons. I ; rated it at a 6 to reward myself for the modicum of effort I put ; into the coloring. ; ; The calculation time of just under 2 seconds on the P2000 is one ; of the briefest in FOTD history. On the P200 the image would ; take about 10 seconds to finish. But instead or worrying about ; such trivialities, why not visit the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and view the already-calculated image there? ; ; Perfectly lovely weather graced New Fractal Central on Sunday. ; The deep blue sky, puffy white cumulus clouds, gentle winds, low ; humidity and temperature of 81F 27C could hardly be bettered. ; ; The new fractal cats' behavior could easily have been bettered ; however. In the middle of the afternoon, I had just started ; making a tuna sandwich when the phone rang in the next room. ; The call was from my sister, who is now living at Old Fractal ; Central with the old fractal cats, Thomas and Tippy. By the ; time we finished talking, the new fractal cats had discovered ; and finished the can of tuna I had left open on the counter. ; After giving them a sound scolding, I settled for a jumbo hot ; dog. Needless to say, after such wicked behavior, they had no ; evening treat of tuna. ; ; The rest of the day was peaceful. The next FOTD, which might be ; better or might be worse, will appear in 24 hours. Until then, ; take care, and wait with bated breath for the ultimate sunrise. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Into_the_Valley { ; time=0:00:01.98-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=+0.30083214901746320/-0.020400697901445\ 98/1.412729e+010/1/-149/1.79467352839912664e-007 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=2400 inside=0 logmap=258 periodicity=10 colors=000wfwwewwdwvcwubwtawt`ws`ws_wsZwrYwrXvqXvq\ XvqXvpXvpWvoWvoVvnUunUunTumSumSulSulSulSunRsoRrpRq\ rSpsSouSnwTmxTlyTkzRlzUmzWmzWnzVnzToxQpwNpmLqbIhUF\ cNKQAOCCRDDTEFUFGVGIWHJXHKYIMZJN_KPaLQcLReMTgNUiOW\ kPXmQYoQ_qR`rSctTevUgwUiwVjwVkxWnxWpxXrxXuyYwyYvzZ\ uzZsy_qw_ouZmrYlnXkkWjgWidVh`UhYThUThRShNRhKQhGQhD\ Ph9Oh6Nh3Nf4Md4Lb4K`4JZ4IX5IV5HT5GR5FP5EN5EP8IRBLS\ EOUHRVKUXNXZQ__TbaWebYh__fYad`e_chWfkShoNkrJnuFpxB\ mrGjlKgfOdaSaWXZQ`WKdUFhWDdYB`_9Xa8Tc6Pe4Lg2Hh1Df5\ Ie8McBQbFU`IY_LaZPfXSjWVnUZrTavSdzWbwZ`taZqdXngVkk\ ThnReqPbtN_wLXzKUsJSlJQeJP_JNTJLMJKFJI9JHCIJFHLIGN\ KFPNERQDSTCUVBWYAY`9_b8`ZGXWNTTUPQaLNcHKeDKgAMiCOk\ EQmGSoIUqKWsMYuO_wQaxScyUezWgzYiz_kzamzcozaqz`sz_u\ zZzzXxzWyzVzzUzzTzzRzzQzzPzzOzzNzzMzzLzzLzzKzzJzzJ\ zzIzzHzzHzzGzzFzzFzzLzzEzzLzzhzzgzzfzzfzzezzdzzdzz\ czzczzbzzazzazzYzzbzzfzzk } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
