; FOTD -- September 24, 2002 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is named "The Emerald City".  The name has nothing 
; to do with the name of the city in the land of Oz, where the 
; wizard dwells.  The image contains nothing even vaguely 
; resembling buildings.  The name simply reflects a feeling that 
; the image produced while I was studying it, searching for a name.
; 
; At first glance, the image appears to have been rendered with 
; some exotic coloring algorithm, but it was actually rendered 
; with the default equal-iteration-bands method.  As in nearly all 
; my FOTD fractals, the fancy coloring is created by the nature of 
; the iterated formula, which in today's case adds portions of 
; Z^(-1.1) and Z^(1.1) to (1/C).
; 
; The resulting parent fractal does not quite fit onto the default 
; screen, but an outzoom reveals a fractal rocket flying east.  
; Today's image lies in the chaos at the north edge of the 
; rocket's fins, in an area that is highly sensitive to changes in 
; the bailout radius, which is determined by adding 100 to the 
; imag(p3) parameter.
; 
; I have rated the image at a 7.  I can do this honestly, since 
; the overall effect is above the average.  The render time of 7 
; minutes can be bypassed 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 Monday weather here at Fractal Central took on a more 
; autumnal mood, with partly cloudy skies, brisk northerly 
; breezes, and a temperature of 75F 24C.  The fractal duo, Thomas 
; and Tippy, must have agreed, for they passed the entire 
; afternoon exploring the yard, every inch of which has been 
; explored many times before.  The only problem arose when Thomas 
; came hopping to the door with a thorn in his right forefoot.  A 
; single pull of the tweezers removed the thorn and relieved his 
; not-very-serious distress.
; 
; My distress will be relieved when the day's work is finished and 
; my desk is clear.  That moment however is several hours away, 
; and some intense effort will be required to achieve the goal.  
; Until next time, which will arrive on Thursday the 26th, take 
; care, and is it rational to believe in extra-sensory fractals?
