The location is in a small bit of debris in the area of ; Seahorse Valley of the parent, an area where rather jumbled ; chaotic scenery prevails. The scene lies deep enough in the ; parent that the features have become totally cubic, at least in ; today's image. ; ; The name "Festive Merriment" reflects the joyful mood created by ; the brilliant colors filling the image. Actually, the colors ; might be a bit too brilliant, which holds down the art rating to ; an 8. The math rating of a 7 is unchanged. ; ; The calculation time of 11-1/3 minutes is much too slow for ; comfort. But it is in these situations where the web sites ; excel at bringing relief. ; ; The completed image is posted at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; A week or so ago I offered to name a fractal after the person ; who told me which species of calling bird is given on the fourth ; of the twelve Days of Christmas in the song of the same name. ; Since no one replied, there will be no fractal named for a FOTD ; fractal fan. Actually, the question was a trick. The commonly ; sung words 'calling birds' is a mistake. The true words are ; 'collie birds', which means black birds. The word is related to ; the british word 'collier', which is a coal miner assumed to be ; covered with black coal dust. ; ; Today began with light snow and a temperature of 14F -10C. The ; snow ended at 1pm after leaving 1-1/2 inches or 4cm of fresh ; snow on the ground, but the clouds hung on for the rest of the ; day, while the temperature remained below freezing. The fractal ; cats spent the day learning to play together. The new fractal ; cat Jasmine is now looking more like a small cat than a kitten, ; and Nico is treating her with more respect. The humans spent ; the day pondering the human situation. Luckily for me, the snow ; was the sweep-away kind. ; ; The next FOTD will appear almost by magic when the time is ; right. Until the right time, take care, and the Christian Bible ; says that the kingdom of heaven lies within. Does this mean ; that heaven exists only in the mind and Atheists are right when ; they say heaven is an illusion? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Festive_Merriment { ; time=0:11:20.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=DivideBrot5 passes=1 center-mag=-2.159502924509663/+0.02573677242516395\ /3.270875e+008/1/23.75/0 params=3/3 float=y maxiter=32767 inside=0 periodicity=6 colors=000ojKqdHq_FtTAwMAzJAzDAzAAzAAzAAzAAzAAzAAz\ AAzAAzAAzAAzEAzKAzPAzUAzZAzcAzZAzUAzPAwKAwFAt99t99\ q99q99o88o88l88l88i77i77f77f77c66c66c66`66`66Y55Y5\ 5V55V55S44S44P44P44N44N44K33K33H33K33K33P44S44Y55`\ 66f77o88wAAzAAzAAzAAzAAq99l88i77f77c66`66Y55V55S44\ V55Y55`66c96fB7iE7lH8qL9tO9wRAzVAzWAzYAzaAzbAzgAzj\ AzlAznAzpAzsAzuAzxAzzAzzAzzAzxAzxAzuAzuAzsAzsAzpAz\ pAznAznAzlAzlAzjAzgAzeAwbAt_9qX9nU8kR8hO7eL7bI6_F6\ XC5U95R64O34L04M04L04K04K04K04K04K04K04K04K04K04K0\ 4K04K04K04K04K04K04K04K04K04K08K5ENAPOFcQKqPPzPUzN\ WzOZzOazMdzMgzNjzQmzTozWrzZuzazzbzzdzzfzzizzkzzmzz\ mzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmxzmv\ zmvzmuzmuzmuzmuzmtzmtzmtzmtzmswZswZswZswWrtWrtWrtS\ qqSqqSqqSqqPqoPqoPqoPqoNqmNqmNqmKqjKqjKqjKqjHqhHqh\ HqhFqfHqhHqhHqhHqhHqhHqjHqjHqjHqjHqjHqjHqmHqmHqmHq\ mHqmHqoAqXAqVAqSAqOAqMAqJ } frm:DivideBrot5 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=real(p1)-2, b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=sqr(z)/(z^(-a)+b)+c |z| < 1000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
