; FOTD -- March 18, 2006 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image returns us for the first time in quite a while to 
; the MandelbrotMix4 formula, where we examine the fractal that 
; results when Z^(-1.5) is subtracted from Z^(1.5) and (1/C) is 
; added.
; 
; The parent fractal appears as a moderate-sized Mandeloid lying 
; well north of the origin, with smaller, mostly shapeless holes 
; scattered about.  One of these scattered holes has a rudimentary 
; East Valley on its east side.  Today's scene is located in this 
; valley.
; 
; I rendered the image with the outside set to 'tdis', which IMO 
; works best.  Several other outside options also work well.
; 
; Perhaps a bit over-enthusiastically I rated the image at an 8.  
; It appears unique enough to earn such a superior rating.  I 
; named the image "Jaded Fractal".  The name was inspired by the 
; jade green coloring.
; 
; The passes=b option works with today's image, and it is by far 
; the fastest, rendering the image in well under two minutes on my 
; worn-out old machine.  The image may also be seen by downloading 
; it from the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Morning clouds and flurries of snow, followed by too-chilly 
; afternoon temperatures here at Old Fractal Central on Friday 
; kept the fractal cats outdoor time limited to less than 1/2 
; hour.  But despite the inconvenience, their moods remained 
; acceptable.
; 
; With all the work and all the stuff that needs to be done, my 
; mood tended toward the sullen side.  The next FOTD is due in 24 
; hours.  Until then, take care, and is the search for the meaning 
; of life a true search, a folly, or none of the above?
