It actually is a scene in the Z^(1.5)+C ; Julibrot. ; ; I gave the image a rating of a question mark because I have done ; similar scenes several times in the past. ; ; The name "Vast Horizons" describes the image near perfectly. In ; fact, the horizon in the image actually is infinite. The ; pointed spire-like objects actually do go on forever into the ; distance, fractal like, ever smaller, with no change. ; ; The calculation time of 45 seconds is quite a bargain, ; considering that the distant horizon is infinitely far away. ; The endless trip may be avoided however by visiting one (or all) ; of the FOTD web sites. ; ; Forget about the hassle of calculating the image. Check the ; finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; And check a high-definition rendering at: ; ; ; ; The FOTD back images are available at: ; ; ; ; High humidity made outside conditions oppressive here at Fractal ; Central today. The temperature of 90F 32C was perfect for a dip ; in the pool. Unfortunately, FC has no pool. The fractal cats, ; self-cooling, passed the day playing with their toy 50-pound ; (23kg) bag of catnip and stretching out on the nearest available ; patch of cool bare tile floor. ; ; The humans made it through the day with only a few minor ; disagreements. I was right, as I always am, but I had trouble ; convincing FL. The next FOTD will be posted... That's all I ; have to say about the time of the posting, but the vagueness ; does not imply a long wait. Until whenever, take care, and feel ; free to think what you will about alien visitors, devil's ; triangles, bigfoot, lake monsters and ghosts, etc. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Vast_Horizons { ; time=0:00:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=SliceJB-new passes=t center-mag=+0.03526834815428200/+0.150344174957272\ 70/228.1255/1/9.5/0 params=0.499661/0.499125/\ 0.497633/0.501865/1.5/0/-0.188/0/0.2392/0.4909 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=23 colors=000F4KF5NF6KF7KF8LF9LFALFBLFCMFDNFDOFEPFFQF\ FSFGSFHRFHSFISFISFJTGJUHLUILUJMVKNVLMVMMVNNXONXPOY\ QOYROYSOYTQYUQYURZURZURZUR_UR_US_US_2Sa2Ua2Ua2Vb2V\ b2Vb2Vb2Xc2Xc2Xc2Xc3Ue4Sf4Rg6Qg7Oi7Nj8MkAKkAJmBHnB\ FoDEoEDqEBrFAsH8sH7uI6vI3wJ2wK0yK0zM0zN0zN0zO0zO0z\ N0zN0wM0uM0rM0oK0mK0iK0fJ0dJ0aI0ZH0LI0DE0AG0AJ0AI0\ AH09G28F2AE37D33C30C30C40B40B40D60D60D70D70D70D80D\ 80D80DA0DA0DB2DB3DB4DD6DD6DD7DE9DEADFBDFBDFDDHEDHF\ DHFDIGDIIDJJDJKDJKDKMDKNDKODMQDMQDMRDNTDNUDOVDOVDO\ XDQYDQZDR_DR_DRaDSbDScDScEUeFUeFUeHUeIUeIVeJVeJVeK\ VeKXeMXeNXeNYeOYeOYeQYeQYeRZeRZeSZeUZeUZeV_eV_eX_e\ X_eY_eZaeZae_ae_aeabebbebbecbecbeeceecefcegcegeeie\ eieejeejeekfemfenfengeogeogeogeqgergeriesiesieuieu\ iermYqqRnuKmyEjz7iz0jz2jz2ky2kw2mu2mr2nq2nn2ok3oi3\ qg3qe3qb3ra3rZ3sX3sU3uS4uQ4vN4vM4wJ4wH4wE4yD4yA4z7\ 6z66z36z06z06z06z06z06z06 } frm:SliceJB-new {; by John R.
