; FOTD -- August 01, 2005 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; In today's FOTD we bid a temporary farewell to the Mandelbrot 
; set and return for a while to the MandelbrotMix4 formula for a 
; view of the fractal that results when various portions of 
; Z^(-1.5) and Z^(-6.5) are combined and (1/C) is added.  I will 
; not try to give a detailed description of the indescribable 
; parent fractal, which is actually several separate Mandeloids, 
; one a sprawling, shapeless thing with numerous valleys and 
; buds, the other a fairly routine M-set.
; 
; Today's scene is found in an inconspicuous location on the west 
; edge of the shapeless thing.  It has been partially evaporated 
; by a large escape radius, resulting in the sea-shell like 
; effect.  The name "Pyroclastic Fractal" has no relation to the 
; actual appearance of the image.  It is simply a phrase that 
; came to mind while I was studying the image.
; 
; The coloring could stand some improvement, which is why I could 
; rate the image no higher than a 6.  The render time of 4-1/2 
; minutes is quite reasonable for such a complicated image.  And 
; as always, the finished image is available on the FOTD web site 
; at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; A near perfect high temperature of 81F 27C kept the fractal cats 
; quite happy here at Fractal Central on Sunday.  The 6 hours they 
; spent in the yard seemed to pass in the twitch of a whisker.  
; Very little tuna was needed to give them a near perfect ending 
; to the day.  Today is starting much the same.
; 
; For me the work is waiting.  The next FOTD will appear in 24 
; hours.  Until then, take care, and the answers will be shocking 
; indeed.
