; FOTD -- September 25, 2005 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is a scene in the Z^(sqrt(2))+C fractal as it 
; appears 4321 levels up the complex logarithmic hyper-spiral.  
; The parent fractal resembles a Mandelbrot set sitting on its 
; butt, or maybe Bozo the clown, waiting to be punched.  A small 
; cut-off area lies to the right of the main bud.  Today's scene 
; was found in this area.
; 
; It's not that great an image, rating only a 5.  In fact, the 
; outside=iter version is so dull that I needed to add a bit of 
; artificial interest by rendering the scene with the outside set 
; to 'tdis'.  But this particular parent fractal has far more 
; impressive scenes in it -- of this I am certain.  So be sure to 
; see tomorrow's FOTD for something far better, which I have 
; missed in today's FOTD.
; 
; No merely average image should take longer than 3 minutes to 
; render.  With its render time of a brief 2-3/4 minutes, today's 
; image meets that requirement handily.  Perhaps the best news of 
; all is that the completed GIF image is, or shortly will be, 
; available for download on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; A cloudy and much cooler day here at Fractal Central on Saturday 
; kept the two fractal cats happy in the holly patch.  Wrapping up 
; the remainder of the real work kept the fractalist happy.  Today 
; is again starting with clouds, and it is cooler still.  The next 
; FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and do not 
; get lost amid the iterations.
