; May 7, 1997: The Big-Miss

; Fractal visionaries:
;
; Having had an unusually busy day, I lacked the time to run off a new
; fractal, so I have attached the parameter file of an image I built a
; couple years ago, which runs under the manzpower formula in Fractint.
;
; It's a picture of a shy little midget from the Z^1.5 mandeloid.  As the
; exponent of Z is set ever farther under 2, the midgets shrink ever
; smaller and become buried ever deeper in stretches of sand-like chaos.
; But they are still there, and with a bit of effort they can be found.
; The unusual patterns around some of these midgets makes the effort
; worthwhile.
;
; I found this little midget by accident while exploring at random, and
; named the picture "shards" because of the sharp fragments which fill
; it.  The swirling, twisting flinders surrounding the midget give the
; picture a kind of sinister, unsettled effect.
;
; Tomorrow, when the rush dies down, I'll resume my series of fractals
; made from my own formulas.  The best are yet to come.
