; FOTD -- September 28, 2002 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The formula of today's image takes 0.2 parts of Z^(-3.16227766), 
; which is the square root of 10, and adds it to three times as 
; much Z^(-0.316227766), which is 1/10th of the first number and 
; also its reciprocal.  The resulting fractal is a bloated, 
; vaguely Mandel-shaped thing with a double valley on the west 
; side and a smoothly curved shoreline on the east side.  Two full 
; out-zooms are needed to see the entire fractal.  The only real 
; area of interest is the vicinity of the double valley, and 
; today's image is located a short distance inland from the 
; southern shoreline of this valley.
; 
; I named the image "Gold Necklace", mostly because I could think 
; of nothing better.  The name is not totally frivolous however, 
; because the effect of the intricate gold filaments against a 
; dull blue background does vaguely suggest a gold chain.
; 
; In my opinion, the image rates a 6, which is not great, but 
; keeps my (IMO) long string of above-average images intact.  And 
; the render time of 5 minutes is just within the bounds of 
; reason.  An even faster way of seeing the image is to go to 
; Paul's web site at:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; or Scott's site at:
; 
;           <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
; 
; and download the completed GIF image from there.
; 
; The weather here at Fractal Central on Friday was variable.  The 
; day started chilly and foggy, but in the early afternoon the fog 
; lifted, the clouds broke, and the temperature rose into the low 
; 80'sF, or around 28C.  Unfortunately, the extreme humidity made 
; for rather oppressive conditions.  Not enjoying humidity, and 
; being especially adverse to wet grass, the fractal cats spent 
; the afternoon in their porch chairs, avoiding the condensation 
; on the still-cold concrete floor.  In the evening, a short but 
; intense shower passed over, which ended the day with a bang and 
; sent the cats scurrying indoors.
; 
; And I had better scurry if I want to put the little bit of work 
; now on my desk behind me.  But never fear, for though I leave 
; now, I shall return in two days, on the 30th, with a new and 
; hopefully improved FOTD image.  Until then, take care, and be of 
; stout mind but lean heart.
