; FOTD -- August 12, 2011 (Rating 7.5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The August FOTD theme is scenes deep in the Mandelbrot set.  But 
; this does not necessarily mean the images must be deep enough to 
; require arbitrary precision math.  At the scale of today's 
; image, the entire M-set is about the size of the solar system.  
; And at least IMO, this magnitude is quite large enough for the 
; scene to be considered 'deep'.
; 
; The image comes in two versions -- a slow version that finishes 
; in 24 minutes and a fast version that finishes in 4 seconds.  I 
; have included a parameter file for each version.  The difference 
; in quality is very small, but it is there.  Those who value time 
; above quality should run the fast version.  Others will run the 
; slow version and have an inner satisfaction that their image is 
; marginally the better.
; 
; The scene is located in the East Valley of a larger Minibrot 
; that lies in a chaotic knot on the long filament extending from 
; the north bud of the minibrot at -1.417 on the main spike of the 
; Mandelbrot set -- a rather well-explored area, but one that 
; still holds surprises.
; 
; The flat, (sky-blue), background was achieved by rendering the 
; image with the logmap set to an artificially large 1260.  The 
; correct value is around 970.
; 
; The rating of a 7-1/2 includes 1/2 point for the coloring, even 
; though most of the coloring was done by the Fractint program, 
; with only a few tweaks applied by me.  The name "Colors Without 
; End" is based on the richness of colors in the image.
; 
; The slow, top-quality version is posted on the FOTD web site.
; 
; The web site may be accessed at:
;

; 
; A higher-definition version is posted at:

; 
; Today here at Fractal Central was a repeat of yesterday, with 
; the same kodachrome skies, puffy clouds, low humidity, and a 
; slightly warmer temperature of 84F 29C.  The fractal cats also 
; had a repeat day.  They passed the time taking it easy, coming 
; to the alert only when a beat-up old yellow-orange tomact passed 
; through the yard and sprayed the fence.
; 
; The humans passed the day doing routine things such as finishing 
; the work.  The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until 
; then, take care, and when all activity and all change in the 
; universe finally ceases, how will we tell the past from the 
; future?
