; FOTD -- December 24, 2006 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's average fractal image exists in the parent fractal that 
; results when the formula Z^(2.003)+C is calculated 68 levels up 
; the complex logatirhmic ladder.  The image is located on the 
; western shore of the south branch of Seahorse Valley.
; 
; On the surface, the parent fractal resembles a normal everyday 
; Mandelbrot set rotated 10 degrees.  But deep down in the area 
; of the negative X-axis some strange discontinuous things are 
; happening.
; 
; The unusual effects are due entirely to the discontinuities in 
; the everyday iteration bands of the image.  No special methods 
; were used to create them.
; 
; I named the image "Squiggles" on a whim.  The squiggliness in 
; the actual image is rather vague.  The average rating of a 5 
; goes perfectly with such an average image.
; 
; The render time of 8-1/4 minutes on my tired old computer is a 
; bit show, but calculating the image with the passes set to 'g' 
; will knock a minute or so off the render time.  And if all else 
; fails, the image may be viewed on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; The rain ended at daybreak and the sun appeared at noon here at 
; New Fractal Central on Saturday.  The temperature reached 52F 
; 16C during the afternoon, but the fractal cats were more interes-
; ted in the decorated tree than the weather.  They didn't forget 
; the tree until their evening treats were served.  My day was 
; plenty busy with holiday things.  The next FOTD will appear in 
; 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and be lively.
