Description


Ultra Fractal 5.02. 22-layers used and the key formula is lkm.ufm, Baker. The formula was unvisited by me until a friend on the UF List uploaded a UPR for our study. I was intrigued, and particularly by his expression of dissatisfaction so I did what began as an exploratory tweak and which grew and grew as the idea consolidated, and hence the 22-layers. Anyway I’ve been given consent to show the image but with the express instruction I am not to give the name of the person who originated my exploration. Sad that, for he’s a nice guy, but List members will be sufficiently knowledgeable. So to the image itself. The intention is to upload an ancient photograph of the castle tomorrow for comparison (though it may not end up in the Photograph gallery – depends on how the admins feel. They can be a fussy lot). Caernarvon Castle had a deep influence in my younger years. A drawing was seen in a book intended for youngsters. I was into modelling at the time so decided to make a wooden model of the castle, complete with cannon, soldiers, horses, coach, town houses. The modelled castle was about four feet in length and I’d no idea if the scaling was accurate so a visit was imperative when funds became available. Amazingly I’d done good. The model took months to construct, and produced wood shavings too many for the industry of my landlady. She tasked the floor cleaning into my hands so the task developed unexpected convulsions. That model is no more, but I still keep a few of the wooden soldiers, and maybe a cannon or two. The houses were given away to friends and so the past becomes truly a memory. This image won’t pass muster as a true fractal by the purists. Maybe I’m too much of a control freak and too much trapped by compositional mind-sets which hold from the past. Well, I’m too old to change – other than for the worse, of course. Cliff.
