; FOTD --  (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Who would ever guess that an exponent of Z so close to unity as 
; 0.003 could make such a great difference in the appearance of 
; the finished fractal?  When the effect is multiplied 100 times 
; however, the result is significant.
; 
; The most obvious change is that the parent fractal is shifted 
; far out to -100 on the X-axis, and must be tracked down in its 
; hiding place.  Once the elusive little thing is found, we see a 
; rather distorted Mandelbrot set, rotated 45 degrees, with much 
; extra chaos on its partially obscured southern side.  Today's 
; scene lies in this southern chaos.
; 
; After a bit of consideration, I gave today's image a rating of 
; an 8.  I think it is quite a pleasant image, even if not the 
; most striking of all time.  The patches of smooth color were 
; achieved by setting the inside to 'fmod' with a proximity factor 
; of 0.045.  The outside was rendered with the standard 'iter'.
; 
; I named the image "Sinuous Pinwheel" because I rather enjoy the 
; sinuous curves that I have intentionally colored in brilliant 
; hues.  The 5-1/2 minute render time is well within reason for an 
; image that rates an 8.  And as always, the finished image is 
; posted, ready for viewing, on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Fairly normal weather prevailed here at Fractal Central on 
; Friday, with partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 50F 10C.  
; The fractal cats passed the day in the normal manner -- seeing 
; how much trouble they could get into and waiting for their 
; evening treats to be served.
; 
; Except for my slowly mending ankle which still greatly curtails 
; my physical activity, my day was close to average.  The next 
; FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and how 
; can we find the answer when we don't even know the question?
