I have no idea ; what a ponderous elephant is doing in a valley reserved for sea- ; horses (and pipefish) but I only report what I see. There the ; elephant is, and I must show it. ; ; The scene lies in the Oblate direction at c=(-0.78), just to the ; west of the center of Seahorse Valley. The vertical direction ; has been stretched to about 3 times its normal height to make ; the seahorse recognizable. A nominal amount of skewing was ; needed to straighten things out. ; ; The rating of 7.5 rewards myself for a modicum of color work. ; The calculation time of under 11 minutes borders on slowness, ; but the calculation may be eliminated entirely by viewing the ; finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The weather on Monday here at Fractal Central 60 miles north of ; Harrisburg was surely the reference standard to which all future ; claims of perfect weather must be compared. Start with a high ; temperature of 77F 25C, the middle of the human comfort range, ; continue with a humidity of 50 percent, again in the middle of ; the comfort range, go on with kodachrome (now digitally intensi- ; fied) blue skies and puffy cumulus clouds so clear and sharp it ; seemed you could reach out and touch them. Mix in a refreshing ; north breeze and just the right amount of ground moisture to let ; crops and gardens grow their best. Too bad it was just a bit ; too cool for a comfortable dip in the pool. The fractal cats ; slept through it all. ; ; My day was average. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. In ; it I will take a one-day break from the Seahorse Valley theme to ; demonstrate an incremental venture from our normal space into ; the fourth dimension. Until then, take care as always, and when ; the weather is perfect, don't cheer up. Remember that it can ; only get worse. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Seahorse_Valley-23 { ; time=0:10:52.68-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=Oblate passes=1 center-mag=-0.37431977\ 2688398/+0.1190352122391917/4405.797/0.3045/0/\ 56.4525422252328042 params=0/0/-0.78/0 float=y maxiter=75000 inside=0 logmap=35 periodicity=10 colors=000R7rQ9qQBqPCqPEqOGpOHpNJpNLpMMoMNoLOoLPoK\ QnKRnJSnITnHUnGVmFWnEXoDYpCZqB_rA`rAaqAbpAcoAdnAem\ AflAgkAhhAieBjbBk_BlXCmVCnSCoPDpMDqJDrGDsEEqDEpDFo\ DFnDGlDGkDHjDHiDHgDIfDIeCJdCJbCKaCK`CK_CLYCLXCMWCM\ VCNTCNSBORBOQBORBPSBPTBRUBSVBUWBVXBWYBYZEZ_G_`I`aK\ __MZYOYWQYUSXSUWQWWOYVM_VKaVKcWLeWLgWLiXMkXMmXMoZL\ rXMqWNqVOqUPqTQpRRpQRpPSpOTpNUoLVoKWoJXoIXnHYnGZnE\ _nD`nCamBbmAbm8cm7dl6el5fl4gl3gl4hk5hk6hk7hk8hk9hk\ AikBikCikDikEikFikDkjFikGhkHgkJfkKekLclNblOalP`lQ_\ lSYmTXmUWmWVmXUmYSn_Rn`QnaPnaNobOnbPnbPnbQnbQnbRnb\ SnbSncTncTncUncVncVncWncWncXndYmdYmdZmdZmd_md`md`m\ dameamebmecmecmedmedmeemdfoeemfdkgdjhchhcgibejbdka\ bkaal`_m_Zn_XnZWoZUpYTqYRqXQrXOsWNtVLtVKuUIvUHwTFw\ TExSCySBzR9zR8yU7xX6x_6wb5wd4vg4vj3um2vp1uo2un2to2\ tp2tq2ur2vs2wt2xu2yv3zw3zx3zz3zz3zz3zz3zz3zz3zz3zz\ 4zz4zz4zz4zzJzzJzzJzzVzzf } frm:Oblate {; Jim Muth real(z),imag(c) z=real(pixel)+p1, c=flip(imag(pixel))+p2: z=sqr(z)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
