; FOTD -- October 17, 2004 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's formula, fn*z+z, multiplies a portion of Z by one of the 
; functions then adds an extra part of Z.  The images thus created 
; are many and varied.  A bit bewildered by the possibilities, I 
; took 0.56 part of acosh(z) and added 0.5 part of Z to it, 
; creating a fractal with X-axis symmetry that vaguely resembles a 
; snowflake.
; 
; Today's scene, which is rotated 90 degrees from the normal orien-
; tation, is located on the X-axis.  I named the image "The Blue 
; Eagle Flies", though there is little in it that resembles a 
; flying eagle.  When I see the picture, I am reminded more of a 
; levitating chicken than a flying eagle, but an eagle is a far 
; more noble bird, so the name will remain.
; 
; Whether the image shows a chicken or an eagle is not that impor-
; tant.  The image has a certain 'feeling' about it that earns it 
; a rating of 6.  When the render time of just under 5 minutes is 
; considered, the overall value scores a rather routine 122.
; 
; The completed GIF image is available on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; The fractal cats did not enjoy the weather here at Fractal 
; Central on Saturday.  The temperature reached 64F 18C, and 
; there was enough sun, but a severe thunder-storm arose in the 
; afternoon, which dropped enough hail for the neighbors to build 
; a small hailman (a snowman made of slushy hail).  Another heavy 
; storm moved in an hour later, which eliminated the hailman.  
; The cats spent the better part of the afternoon in the closet, 
; hiding from the noise of the thunder.  Today promises to be 
; much better, but after yesterday's deception, will the cats 
; trust the sunny skies?
; 
; I am placing my trust in the world of fractals, where I will 
; find the next FOTD image within 12 hours from now.  What I find 
; will appear as tomorrow's FOTD.  Until then, take care, and the 
; end is nowhere in sight.
