; FOTD -- December 07, 2006 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; To generate today's 7-rated fractal image I combined negative 
; Z^3 and negative Z^5 to create a parent fractal shaped somewhat 
; like the dome of a Buddhist temple.  On the northeast shoreline 
; of the main bay lies a partially obscured bud, which at first 
; looks totally non-critical -- the last place in the fractal 
; world one would expect a midget.
; 
; But in the world of fractals, nothing can be taken for granted 
; until it is thoroughly checked out.  One of the wedges converg-
; ing on the mouth of this bud actually has midgets all through 
; it.  They are not easy to find, but they are there.  Today's 
; image shows one of these midgets.
; 
; When I saw the image I was reminded of Christmas ornaments and 
; decided on the name "Decorated Fractal".  The colors however 
; have little to do with the season.  The ornamental effect was 
; achieved by rendering the scene with the inside set to 'bof60', 
; which fills the inside parts with tiny balls.
; 
; The render time of 5-1/2 minutes is reasonable for an image that 
; rates a 7.  And the image may be seen even faster by going to 
; the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and viewing it there.
; 
; A temperature of 46F 8C and partly cloudy skies made conditions 
; near ideal for the fractal cats here at New Fractal Central on 
; Wednesday.  For me the day was rather slow.  The next FOTD will 
; appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and keep thinking 
; fractal.
