Description
"You have last updated your formulas 454 days ago".
This way UF greeted me today when I had my three-years old daughter sitting beside me and looking at a small fractal journey into a mandelbrot derivative.
~
After she has left me I dive into the lots of new files and finally start to explore Herman Ring M(a) from aho.ufm in Julia Switch Mode. It's grey outside, I am sitting at home and not in my office due to some flu and some aching in my legs that makes me lay down on my bed every ten or fifteen minutes. The guys from Red Hot Chili Peppers are my best friends today, Their "Stadium Arcadium" contains so many joyful songs, their dynamic style, the diversity of ideas even within one single song push me out of bed again and make me forget my legs. Whenever I try out a new setting or texture I start a plain render in 1000x1000 pixels without AntiAliasing to have a quick impression of the changes. This is important to get the textures look well enough in the final render.
And every test render gives Anthony, Michael, John and Chad the chance to bring some more sonic pressure on my loudspeakers.
One layer of my image is just basic: Standard colours, no UCL used. Another layer with "Distances Loop" from akl.ucl — pretty old stuff that I did not look at for years now. I use an Apo gradient with lots of earthy tones and greys as a contrast. Et voilà: Hot summer colours embedded in brown earth and hot white light send a warm breeze into my soul.

I know you don't know me, but I've seen a lot of your work, and it's a thrill to see you posting fractals again. Welcome back :)
Good to see you posting again!!
Welcome back as active upoader Andreas :-) Its a pretty colortexture play Thanks for the explanation how you have create it
Very beautiful work.
Welcome back. You're back with a beatiful fractal and showing your texturing skill.
Nice and adventurous. Great you're back.
Such a treat to see a new work from you. Distances loop is one of my favorite colourings from you. This is a wonderful mix- dynamic, vibrant and beautiful. I love the hot gradient of colors and splendid textures. Excellent work, Andreas!
Beautiful, sunny excellently textured fractal. Great work!!!
It was well worth the wait - 13 months or 395 days :-) Wonderful texture work, and very nice distortions on the spiral! Welcome back!
Welcome back...........
Music and it's inspiration, What a delight and warmth for the soul!
Congratulations! This image has been chosen for the Fractal Window Weekly in the Fractal SubCommunity. You will find the announcement in the Fractal Forum.
It's a real delight to see you back! I hope we will see you soon and often :) I love the brilliant colors and the amazing textures!
What a very cheery and warm spiral! Gorgeous work!
Excellent work!!!!
Worth waiting for... A burst of sunlight, flora & fauna... and electricity too.... a beauty!
Looking at it again, it's been a while, from Apr 27, 2008 to September 19, 2013. Now I see the math, asymetry and jewels. A pleasure.
Andreas, it's difficult to decide which I enjoyed more..the visual treat of this beautiful image (a stunner, to be sure!)...or your descriptive words and the glimpse into your day. Both, a delight. :)
Beautiful composition and mood!!!
