; FOTD -- December 27, 2006 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image illustrates what happens when the expression 
; Z^(1.1)+C is calculated at a level 111 turns up the logarithmic 
; hyper-helix.  The parent fractal is little more than a mis-
; shaped open area with much chaos on its southern shoreline.  
; Today's scene is located in the outskirts of this chaos.
; 
; The midget at the center of today's image can hardly be called a 
; midget.  It is little more than a mis-shaped hole mirroring the 
; shape of its parent.  But the richness of the detail surrounding 
; it more than makes up for its lowly condition.  Midgets in this 
; low range tend to be all alike, which is why finding an extra 
; spectacular one like the one in today's image is an event worthy 
; of FOTD status.
; 
; Most of the unusually rich detail in the image arranges itself 
; into rings around the midget, which I have emphasized in the 
; coloring.  The final result impresses me as being worth a rating 
; of 5.  The name "Textured Microbrot" simply describes the image.
; 
; The render time of about 6-3/4 minutes on my tired worn-out old 
; computer is barely reasonable for today's notably average image. 
; A more reasonable way to see the image is to visit the FOTD web 
; site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and enjoy the pre-rendered image posted there.
; 
; The Tuesday weather here at Fractal Central featured clearing 
; skies and a nominal temperature of 45F 7C.  The cats agreed with 
; the conditions and had a pleasant day finishing off the wrapping 
; paper.  My day was slow, which was a pleasant break.  The next 
; FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and get in 
; touch with the within.
