; FOTD -- December 01, 2005 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is named "Metabilis-3".  The words have no 
; meaning, they simply came to mind while I was studying the 
; image.  Most likely the words are the vaguely remembered 
; name of an alien planet in one of those junky sci-fi movies 
; I watch so many of.
; 
; The image itself is based on whimsy -- a mixture of negative 
; portions of Z^(-1.4142) and Z^(-14.142), with (1/C) added.  The 
; parent fractal is a grossly overblown thing in several separate 
; pieces, with a number of open 'inside' areas scattered about.  
; Today's scene is located in a valley of one of these open areas.
; 
; Much of today's image consists of 'inside' stuff, which I have 
; colored a dull purple.  To add detail to an otherwise flat 
; scene, the 'outside' parts were rendered with the outside=tdis 
; option.
; 
; Maybe I'm being too strict with my rating, but IMO, the image is 
; only average, and can be rated no higher than a 5.  The render 
; time of 11-1/2 minutes borders on slowness, but relief is on 
; hand on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; where the image is posted for immediate viewing.
; 
; The rain moved out and the sun moved in on Wednesday here at 
; Fractal Central.  With the temperature in the middle 50's F., 
; around 13 C., the cats had nothing to complain about as they 
; passed the afternoon in the yard.  The wind gusted at times, but 
; they seemed not to notice.  Except for a rather animated discus-
; sion with Fractal Lady, my day was reasonably peaceful.  The 
; next FOTD will appear on schedule in 24 hours.  Until then, take 
; a break.  For just one day, stop taking so much care, and have a 
; little fun.
