; 
; F.O.T.D., November 22, 1997 (Budrise)
; 
; Fractal visionaries:
; 
; How can I describe today's fractal?  Well, to begin, I'll let my 
; imagination run wild.  (It won't be difficult; that's my usual 
; mental state.)  :^)
; 
; Picture yourself alone at night on an alien beach, standing 
; under a sky filled with strange constellations.  In the darkness 
; you can hear the alien surf washing gently up the sands and 
; swishing back out.  Out on the methane ocean, strange lights 
; are gently blinking on and off.  You have no idea what they are 
; -- this world is supposed to be uninhabited.  In the distance to 
; your right, a barely discernible glow like that of a city below 
; the horizon reveals where methane ends and sky begins.  Perhaps 
; this planet is not deserted.
; 
; But as you watch and wonder, the glow increases and spreads, 
; until at last, in its undiminished splendor, its radiance 
; piercing the high clouds, accompanied by the opening of "Thus 
; Spake Zarathustra" the great cosmic bud rises into the sky.  Day 
; has come and you are still alone, but those dots that were 
; lights blinking in the night still mar the horizon. . . .
; 
; OK, so I exaggerated a little!  Perhaps today's fractal isn't 
; quite that spectacular, but it's still a striking one, and I 
; feel it's good enough to make it as the FOTD for 22-11.  When I 
; saw this image, a sunrise, or budrise in this case, was my first 
; and only impression.
; 
; The image is a scene in the Z^24-(1.1*Z) figure, sliced halfway 
; between the Mandelbrot and Oblate directions.  It is another 
; example of an order-2 object where none should appear.  I had 
; intended to post a different formula today, but this particular 
; fractal so struck me that I felt it must be shown at once.
; 
; And so here it is -- my FOTD for 22-11 -- not my best, but not 
; my worst either.  The finished image, which takes 6 minutes on 
; an 80486-DX4 at 100mhz, is posted to Paul's web site at:
; 
;           http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html
; 
; Tomorrow, if I find no more irresistable images in the M-O 
; rotation, I'll post an image from the M-R rotation.  Until then, 
; take care and put your best fractal forward.
