; FOTD -- December 30, 2004 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image rates a 6 and is named "The Pit".  I gave it this 
; name when I had a vague impression of looking down into a pit 
; while studying the image.  The rating of a 6 seems fair.
; 
; The parent fractal is no single fractal at all.  It is a group 
; of 2 large Mandeloids surrounded by fractal debris filled with 
; baby M-sets.  Today's scene is located in the East Valley of the 
; large Mandeloid on the right.
; 
; The rating of a nominal 6 and the render time of just under 11 
; minutes gives the image an overall worth of 55.  Rendering may 
; be avoided by downloading the completed GIF file from the FOTD 
; web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; The philosophy of the day appears in the philofractal version of 
; this discussion.
; 
; Warm sun and a temperature of 57F 14C made conditions near 
; perfect for the fractal duo on Wednesday.  The high point of 
; their outing came when Tippy caught a late cricket on the porch 
; and brought it to the door to show what he had done, while 
; Thomas watched with little interest.  Today is starting warm 
; again, but the sun is lacking.  We shall have to wait to see 
; how the day goes for the duo.
; 
; For me it looks like the usual routine of real work before 
; fractal fun.  The next fractal, along with more philosophical 
; pontificating, will appear right here in only 24 hours.  Until 
; then, take care, and be of fractal cheer.
