This valley has no name, ; and I intend to give it none. ; ; I arrived at the remote scene while I was searching for a limit. ; The more remote the valleys become, the more they start to look ; the same. Today's image shows what I assume to be the limit of ; the scenery in the higher-order valleys. Similar scenes first ; appear around the 4th valley out, and the scenes change little ; in the valleys beyond there. ; ; The ridiculous maxiter of 20-million is no mistake. All these ; iterations are actually necessary to fully resolve the scene. ; By comparison, a similar scene in the 4th valley would require a ; maxiter of only 100-thousand, and would calculate in a minute or ; two. ; ; The three brilliant yellow areas are filled-in peanut holes. It ; can be seen that the center filled-in hole in the peanut hole is ; actually the 'star' at the end of the filament extending from ; the bud. The two 'bulbs' on either side of the center are end- ; less spirals on either side of the star. ; ; I also see some kind of animals in the scene, though I'll not ; try to identify them. They're clearly not elephants, but ; they're not seahorses either. Maybe they're spider monkeys. ; ; I could hardly give a rating to an image with so little to offer ; and so much time required for the calculation. But I will say ; that 50 minutes may be saved by viewing the finished image on ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; With a high temperature of 88F 31C and a hot sun, things were a ; bit too warm for absolute comfort here at Fractal Central on ; Wednesday. The fractal cats were skittish because of the noise ; of work being done on a neighboring house, but this did not keep ; them from checking often to see exactly what was happening. ; ; My day was busier than average but still well under control. ; I'll be taking a short trip back to Old Fractal Central on ; Thursday to do a little porch maintenance, so the FOTD for June ; 26 might be late. Until whenever, take care, and never doubt ; the word of science. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Seahorse_valley-25 { ; time=0:50:55.84-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-1.4011550420563\ 79/+0.00000000901429934/4.398626e+009/1/-88/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=20000000 inside=255 logmap=-87270 periodicity=10 colors=000UYzU_zUazUczUezUgzUizUkzUmzUozUqzUnzTjzS\ dhQaZPRPOMKNIKNDKN7KM1KL0KK1KI7LGDMEJNCPOCUPDYQDaR\ EeSEiTFmTFpTJkUNfURaVVYVZTVbOWfJWjFWnAXr5Xv1X_MHDf\ 2Qj8UnDYqIapGepFipEmpDmpCmoBmoAmo9mo8mo7mn6mn5mn4c\ n3cn2cn1eo3ho4ko6no7qo8tpAwpBzpCzpEzpFzqHzqIzqJzqL\ zqMzqNzrRzsVztZztazudzvgzwjzwmzxpzyszyvzxtzwrzvpzu\ nztmzqoznpzkqzhrzeszbtz_uzXvzUwzRxz`tzjpztlzsmzsmz\ smzsmzsmzsmzsmzsmzsmzsmzsmzsmzqkzpjzohzngzmezldzkb\ zjazi_zhZzgXzfWzeUzdTzcSz_UzXVzUXzRYzNZzK`zHazEbzH\ ZzJWzLTzNQzPNzRKzTGzVDzXAzZ7z`4zb1z_2zY3zW3zT4zR5z\ P5zM6zK6zI7zF8zD8zB9z8Az6Az4Bz2Bz7GzCKzHOzMSzRWzW`\ z`dzehzjlzopzmnzklzijzghzfgzcdz`bzY_zVYzSVzQTzNQzK\ OzHLzEJzBGz9EzFIzLLzRPzWSzaVzgZzmazrdzlbzf`zaZzWXz\ QVzLUzQWzUXzZZzb_zf`zkbzoczsdzrdzqdzpdzodzmezlezke\ zjeziezhezffzeUzjVzpWzuXzjaz_ezQjzFnz5rzBizHazFWzE\ QzDLzCFzBAzATz9kz6Xz3XK0P } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
