A fractal visionary is one who concerns himself ; with fractals. Since fractals are imaginary things, they are ; not real. ; ; Only the seriously disturbed confuse imaginary things with real ; things, therefore one who concerns himself with fractals is out ; of touch with reality, and in need of help. But it sure is a ; lot of fun living in a world where the unreal can become real at ; the touch of a computer button. There must be different kinds ; of reality surrounding us. Now as for Santa Claus . . . ; ; Today's fractal might or might not be real, but regardless, it ; rates an honorable 7. It is a scene near the same minibrot that ; held yesterday's image. But today, instead of checking the mini- ; brot's Seahorse Valley, we check its East Valley. What we find ; there is a typical East Valley scene filled with Seahorse Valley ; elements. I'm sorry pachyderm fans, but I could find no obvious ; elephants in the image. I guess they all sank in the seahorse ; water. For this reason I named the image "Watered Elephants". ; ; Being in the same area of the M-set as yesterday's image, ; today's image is nearly as fast. But why bother with the ; calculation speed? It's just as simple and nearly as fast ; to view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Lots of sun but frigid temperatures around 19F -7C prevailed ; here at Fractal Central on Thursday. The fractal cats hugged ; the heat most of the day, while I waited for the first work of ; the new year to come in. The next FOTD will appear seemingly ; from nowhere in 24 hours, and return to nothingness as soon as ; the computer is shut off. Until then, take care, and are frac- ; tals animal, vegetable, or mineral? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Watered_Elephants { ; time=0:00:19.53-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-0.7418\ 527152462948/+0.143746626232636/9.536791e+012/1/\ -35.5/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=6400 bailout=36 inside=0 logmap=-1300 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000HEKPbgO`hO_iOZiP`iQaiRbiSdiVeiciimmzvrzz\ yzzzzzzzzzzzvvzrmzmezhd9zY8zUBzVDzWFzXHzYJzZLz_Nw`\ PraRwbTwcVwdXwdVrbUmaTh_ScZQZXPUWOPUNKTLFSKAQJAPIA\ NGAMFAKEAJDAIJFGOJFTNEZRDcVBhZAnb9sf8xj7xeAz`CvVEr\ RHrMJpHLoDNkEMhFLdGKaHJ_HIXHHUGGRGFOFEMEDJDCGEBDGA\ BM9FQCJWEMaGQfJUkLXoN_kOagOdcOf_OhWOkSPmOPpKPrGPtD\ PnPLi_HdjD_uATiMNZYHOiBDtAMlASdAQYARQARJBWICRICRID\ RIDWIEWIEVIFZIFZIGZIGZIHZIH_IJZHLZGNZFPYFRWESVDUTC\ WSCYRB_PA`O9bM9dL8fJ7hI6iH6lKCnMIpONrQTtSZvUcxWizY\ nZRM`TOaUQbVRcWTdXVeYWfZYg__h``iabjbdkceldgmehdcgX\ afO_eGYeJWcMVaPT_SSYVRXXSWYTW_TV`UVaVVcVUdWUeXUgXT\ hYTiYTgaWedZch`akc_oeYrhWujYph_kfafdbabdX`fSZhNXiI\ WmCPq6JfIHXUFMeDCpBGkEKfHOaKSYNWTQ_OTcJWfFZ6kJCbTH\ VbMNlRFuaQmk`eujZp_RkQJgGChFHhEMhDQiCViB_iBceJYaQT\ Kfg3vvBsrJpoRmlYjiegfmdcta`7DrCGmHIhMKcRMZWOU`QPeS\ LkXXq`gvdrXOH_NObNUDQfBYa } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
