; FOTD -- December 23, 2006 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's fractal formula mixes 0.2 part of Z^3 with 0.2 part of 
; Z^(-4), then adds C to create a broad ring of various fractal 
; holes and filaments with X-axis symmetry.  Today's image is 
; located in some fractal debris near a large, vaguely Mandel-
; shaped open area near the northern extremity of the parent 
; fractal.
; 
; I named today's image "Ample Backlighting".  While studying the 
; image I had a strong impression that the brilliant yellow-green 
; fringed foreground objects are strongly backlit.  But it takes 
; more than backlighting to make a great fractal, so I could rate 
; the image no higher than a 6, which is not all that bad BTW.
; 
; The calculation time of just over 5 minutes is about what would 
; be expected for an everyday fractal.  And as always, the minor 
; task of calculating the image may be avoided by going to the 
; FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and viewing the already-calculated image there.
; 
; A totally unpleasant day here at New Fractal Central on Friday, 
; with rain and a temperature of 39F 4C, left the fractal cats 
; unmoved.  Their entire afternoon was spent annoying the decora-
; ted tree, climbing up into it, knocking ornaments off the 
; branches and batting them up and down the hallway.  To add 
; insult to injury, some cat actually dropped a tiny decorative 
; angel into Cassie's water dish.
; 
; My day continued hectic.  The work was only average, but the 
; holidays are near and much remains to be done.  If all goes 
; well, and why should it not, the next FOTD will appear in 24 
; hours.  Until then, take care, and is anyone else on the lists?
