; FOTD -- August 24, 2005 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image combines various portions of Z^(1.3) and Z^(-1.3), 
; then adds (1/C) to create a fractal much like those seen many 
; times before in the FOTD's, but with subtle differences that 
; make it one-of-a-kind.  I named it "The Ringleader" when I 
; noticed the near perfect ring of rust-colored elements circling 
; the midget at the center.
; 
; The parent fractal consists of a central ocean that resembles a 
; warped figure 8, surrounded by a large area of chaos containing 
; the usual infinity of midgets of all shapes and sizes.  Today's 
; scene is located near one of the larger satellite midgets.  I 
; entered the mathtolerance into the parameter file by hand to be 
; sure the image renders at the correct magnitude.
; 
; The rating of a 5 shows that I consider the image to be only of 
; average quality.  The render time of 47-1/2 minutes on my old 
; machine shows that the best way to view the image is to download 
; it from the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Tuesday turned out quite pleasant here at Fractal Central.  
; Under a partly cloudy sky, the temperature rose to 82F 28C.  And 
; the humidity remained quite low all day, making it ideal for the 
; aging cats of the fractal variety, who spent several hours 
; lurking in the holly thicket, watching for intruders that never 
; appeared.  Only a little tuna was needed in the evening to end 
; their day on an upbeat note.
; 
; Today is starting sunny and continued ideal.  Things again look 
; good for the duo.  For me, things look rather busy, but it is 
; nothing that I cannot handle.  The next FOTD will appear in 24 
; hours.  Until then, take care, and keep iterating those fractals.
