The reason is that I spent ; several hours trying to turn a nothing minibrot into something. ; I was only moderately successful, but to reward myself for all ; the work, I inflated the rating. The image, with all its ; disorganized and hectic colors, is actually worth more like a 7. ; ; The generating expression is Z^(1.2)+C as calculated PI levels ; up the hyperladder with no function applied. The parent fractal ; is a Mandeloid every bit as shapeless as the minibrot at the ; center of today's image and surrounded by a field of disconnected ; bits and pieces of filaments. Today's scene lies on one of the ; filament pieces to the west-northwest of the main body. ; ; The name "Tulip Trouble" came about when the minibrot reminded ; me of a tulip. ; ; The calculation time of just over 3 minutes is faster than ; expected for an image with a maxiter of one-million. And this ; time can be cut to near 2 minutes by resetting the passes to ; 'G'. Doing this loses only a few dots at the edge of the ; minibrot. An even better choice is to do away with calculation ; altogether and check the image on one of the web sites. ; ; The finished image is posted at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Total sun prevailed all day here at Fractal Central today. With ; little wind, the temperature of 37F +3C was quite comfortable ; for mid-January and the start of the coldest 30-day period of ; the year. The fractal cats took turns enjoying the afternoon ; sun on their shelf in the southwest window. The fractal humans ; passed the day taking down the last of the holiday decorations. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted, which is all I'm saying about the ; actual time it will appear. Until whenever, take care, and if ; high technology has given us such a great life style, why have ; there been around thirty school shootings in the past year? ; Could something in our lives be missing? ; ; ; Jim (the Atheist?)
