; FOTD -- September 10, 2002 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; At first glance, today's image gives the impression of a scene 
; lying deep in the range of arbitrary precision math.  But the 
; impression is not accurate.  A glance at the parameter file will 
; reveal a magnitude of only 5x10^5, and arbitrary precision math 
; doesn't even work with 'type=formula' fractals.
; 
; The effect of great magnitude is created partly by the nature of 
; the image itself and partly because the parent fractal, which 
; resembles a lacework doughnut, is grossly enlarged.  The large 
; size of the parent fractal means that the scene in effect 
; actually lies somewhat deeper than the magnitude indicates.  The 
; name I gave the image, "Not at all Deep", was inspired by this 
; illusory impression of great magnitude.
; 
; The midget at the center of today's image lies in the remote 
; suburbs of a larger midget located in the northern part of the 
; bloated doughnut area of the parent fractal.  The formula, which 
; combines iterated portions of Z^(-2) and (1/Z), is quite simple, 
; but as I have often stated, in the world of fractals, simple 
; formulae sometimes create incredible images.
; 
; The rating of 6 appears about right for this image, which 
; impresses me as being just the slightest bit above average.  
; And as always, the 7-minute render time can be avoided by 
; downloading the completed GIF image from:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; or from:
; 
;           <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
; 
; The fractal weather Monday here at Fractal Central was once 
; again perfect, with a temperature of 88F 31C and all other 
; things that go with weather perfection.  The intrepid house 
; cats, Thomas and Tippy, behaved perfectly as they passed the 
; afternoon in their lounge chairs on the porch, wishing only that 
; it had been a few degrees less warm.
; 
; I'll be perfectly happy only when I finish some work that now 
; lies in semi-disarray on the shelf beside me.  So until next 
; FOTD on Sep 12, take care, and see you then.
