; FOTD -- February 09, 2005 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image returns us once again to a fault line of the 
; parent fractal that was the source of the two most recent 
; FOTD's.  We trace the fault line farther from its source in the 
; southern branch of a prominent valley, and follow it to where it 
; begins to disintegrate into chaos.  There, very well hidden, 
; lies the midget that forms the nucleus for today's image.
; 
; Once again, the most satisfactory version of the scene is 
; produced by evaporating it and rendering the ghostly 'inside' 
; remnants with the inside=bof61 option.  Fractal evaporation is 
; what happens when fractals created with only negative exponents 
; of Z are calculated with an extremely large escape radius, such 
; as the googol of today's image, in which none of the points will 
; ever escape to infinity.  The result is an image composed 
; totally of trapped 'inside' points.
; 
; In today's image, the central midget is still too small to be 
; seen, but the fault-line arcs that surround it are impressive.  
; These closed arcs remind me of the blades of the exhaust fan on 
; my old, worn-out but still faithful fractal-dedicated machine, 
; which usually need to be nudged into motion by hand when the 
; machine is turned on.  I named the image "Fan Blades".
; 
; The image pleases me about as much as did yesterday's.  I 
; therefore rated it at another 6.  But it is a rather unusual 
; appearing scene, worth the 9-plus minutes required to render it 
; on my old machine, and the fewer minutes it will take to render 
; on current units.
; 
; But some current units choke on old 'DOS' programs such as 
; Fractint.  For the convenience of those with handicapped 
; computers, the completed image has been posted ready for 
; download on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; The philosophy continues as promised in the philofractal 
; version of today's FOTD discussion.
; 
; The Tuesday weather here at Fractal central was absolutely 
; perfect, with a spring-like high temperature of 59F 15C and lots 
; of sun.  The fractal cats spent most of the afternoon out of 
; sight in the holly thicket at the bottom of the yard, watching 
; the birds clear away the last of the berries.  No tuna was 
; needed to make their evening happy.  This morning is again 
; starting mild, but it is cloudy and rain is forecast for later 
; today.  The duo might have a satisfactory day if they go 
; outdoors early enough.
; 
; For me the work is average.  This means an evening of adventure 
; in Fractal Land.  The best of what I find there will appear as 
; tomorrow's FOTD.  Until then, take care, and if we can see it, 
; hear it, and touch it, it must be really real.
