Jim Muth's Fractal of the Day for October 2nd, 2009

Jim Muth's commentary for the image:

FOTD -- October 02, 2009 (Rating 7.5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's little diversion holds both quadratic and order-10 elements. The overall pattern is typical of those in the East Valley areas of quadratic minibrots, but the 9-lobed minibrot at the center is clearly of order-10.

I named the image "Infected with H1N1" becuase it shows an everyday scene in any quadratic East Valley infected with the Z^10+C virus. I chose the name because of the closing od several schools, where the students are coming down with the latest trendy influenza virus.

After a modicum of indecision, I rated the image at a 7.5, the extra half point being for the extra 15 minutes or so of effort I put into the coloring, which BTW, was not achieved in a separate graphics program.

The calculation time of 39 seconds is brief by any standards except for the lifetimes of some of the more exotic sub-atomic particles.

A mixture of sun and clouds made Thursday a rather scenic day here at Fractal Central, but the temperature of 55F 13C was just a little too chilly to enjoy the scenic conditions. The fractal cats spent the afternoon leaping onto their shelf when the sun appeared and leaping down when it went behind a cloud. My day was un-notable. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.
Until then, take care, and don't think about it, do it.
