; FOTD -- January 07, 2005 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's fractal combines 0.4 negative portions of Z^(1.5) with 
; 6 portions of Z^(-0.5) before adding C.  When the parameters 
; are entered into the formula, the default image looks most 
; unpromising, consisting of nothing more than a few flat equal-
; iteration bands.  But an out-zoom reveals a quite interesting 
; display of distorted Mandeloids and pseudo-Mandeloids lying off 
; the screen to the north and west.  Today's scene is located in 
; a disconnected area of interest in the interior of the northern 
; valley of the very large bud of the eastern Mandeloid.
; 
; I named the image "Fire-Wheel" after the broken ring of fiery 
; red elements surrounding the midget at the center.  The rating 
; of a 5 seems fair enough.  And the render time of 15 minutes 
; gives the image an overall value of 33.
; 
; The most convenient way to see the image is to download it from 
; the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; The philosophy appears as promised in the philofractal version 
; of today's FOTD discussion.
; 
; With cloudy skies, drizzle, and a temperature of only 45F 7C, 
; Thursday left much to be desired in the cat department here at 
; Fractal Central.  Just a single glance out the door and a wet 
; paw or two convinced the duo that the day would be far more 
; pleasant if they passed the time indoors on their shelf by the 
; window.  A generous treat of tuna eased their disappointment.
; 
; Conditions this morning are somewhat improved.  It should be a 
; better day for the duo.  For me, the work is normal and I 
; already have two more FOTD's in storage.  I'll keep storing 
; extra ones until I have a week's supply on file and ready to go 
; if the work becomes too heavy to write a new FOTD each day.  The 
; next FOTD, along with more philosophy, will appear in a few 
; days.  Until that golden moment arrives, take care, and keep 
; thinking.
