; FOTD -- June 01, 2004 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Believe it or not, today's image is a view of the chaos along 
; the shoreline of what remains of Seahorse Valley of the 
; Z^(2.01,0.03)+C Mandeloid.  For some reason known only to the 
; higher authority, the buds have choked off and changed into 
; distorted quadratic midgets, while curious new open areas have 
; appeared, in the form of round holes connected by tooth-like 
; spirals to infinity.
; 
; I have named the image "Scene of Discovery".  After all, it is 
; at least a minor discovery.  The two circular areas in the left 
; half of the image, along with the tooth-spiral connecting them, 
; form one of the more unusual hole complexes I have found in the 
; world of fractals.
; 
; Even with the maxiter of 15000, the edge of the valley, on the 
; upper right, is not fully defined.  But the render time of 48 
; minutes is already unreasonably long, so I decided to be 
; satisfied with less than full definition.
; 
; Since I can see nothing really above average in the artistic 
; aspect of the image, I have rated it at a 5.  The slow render 
; time reduces the overall value to an unexceptional 10.  
; Considering all this, the best way to view the scene is to let 
; Paul render it and post it to the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Clouds, cool temperatures in the 60'sF (around 18C), and 
; occasional light rain kept the fractal cats indoors and the 
; cicadas quiet here at Fractal Central on Monday.  The cats 
; cheered up in the evening when they had their treat of tuna; the 
; cicadas cheered up this morning when they saw the sun and warmer 
; temperatures.
; 
; I'll cheer up when the latest pile of work is behind me.  Until 
; next FOTD, take care, and don't be too busy to enjoy the fractal 
; side of life.
