; FOTD -- December 28, 2004 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The FOTD returns with a burst of undersea glory!  Today's 
; 7-rated image is a scene in the Z^(2.02)+C fractal at a location 
; 77 turns up the abstraction I call the logarithmic hyperspiral.  
; At this lofty level the basic Mandelbrot shape has rotated 90 
; degrees, so that its main bud faces north.  This bud has 
; undergone some curious distortions, with major discontinuities 
; and several broad disconnected filaments shooting off in various 
; directions.  Today's scene is located near the tip of one of 
; these broad filaments.
; 
; To bring some extra life to the image, I tried the various 
; 'outside' options.  With the proximity set at 3, the 'fmod' 
; option seemed to work best, so that is what I used.  Something 
; about the image reminds me of a bed of shellfish, so I named it 
; "Seashore Seashells"
; 
; With its render time of 3+ minutes and its rating of 7, today's 
; image has an overall worth of 211.  Those who enjoy clams and 
; oysters may see the undersea scene by running the included 
; parameter file or by downloading the finished GIF image from the 
; FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; <At this point, three paragraphs have been cut from the Fractint 
; version of today's discussion.  However, they do appear in the 
; philofractal version.>
; 
; Chilly weather over the holiday weekend here at Fractal Central 
; kept the cats' outdoor time limited to under an hour each day, 
; but their moods remained surprisingly good considering the poor 
; conditions.  Today is again starting sunny and very cold, with a 
; temperature of 18F -8C.  It looks like a repeat.
; 
; The weather may repeat, but fractals never repeat.  The next one 
; will appear right here in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and 
; not only are we ignorant of the answers, we don't even know the 
; questions.
