My concept of ; heaven is a place that everyone says is wonderful, but no one ; wants to go to. In my opinion, the reason for this contradic- ; tion is that we're not sure that heaven really exists. In a ; world built on science, faith does not carry the power it once ; did, and the world's religions appear helpless to do anything ; about it. What do I think of all this? Well, I spend time ; wondering whether there are fractals in heaven. ; ; Today's image offers a little hope of the beyond. It shows a ; minibrot floating through the etherial realm of heaven. This is ; the same minibrot that I mentioned in yesterday's discussion, ; and indeed, yesterday's scene lies within the brilliant white ; arc just southwest of the minibrot in today's scene. ; ; Just as in yesterday's image, the better part of today's image ; is inside stuff made visible by the 'bof60' inside fill. A good ; part of the outside stuff has evaporated away. ; ; The image rates an 8. It might have rated as high as a 9 if the ; muddy left-over 'outside' debris in the upper part had not been ; so intrusive. There could be a way to eliminate this stuff, but ; once again laziness overtook me and I decided to let the image ; go as is. ; ; The calculation time of under 1-1/2 minutes will test the ; patience of no one. ; ; The completed image is posted on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The high-definition version of the image may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; The 14-year-old classic FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Friday here at Fractal Central was another perfect early June ; day. The temperature of 77F 25C is right in the middle of the ; comfort range, and the humidity of 45 percent simply added to ; the comfort. The fractal cats spent most of the day being ; comfortable, doing what cats do when they are comfortable. They ; stretched out on the carpet. ; ; The day of the humans, (not to be confused with the day of the ; triffids), was slow. FL got caught up on some gardening, while ; I got caught up on some fractals. The next FOTD is due in 24 ; hours, but if one of those antiquing expeditions comes up, it ; might be late. Until whenever, take care, and what if we dis- ; cover that heaven is really not there? . . .
