; FOTD -- January 01, 2007 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; For the first day of the year 2007 we have a fractal image that 
; rates a 7.  It is a scene in the parent fractal that results 
; when the tiniest part of Z^(11) is combined with Z^(1.1) and C 
; is added.  This parent turns out to be a fairly normal Mandel-
; brot set with its west side facing east-southeast.  The most 
; striking thing in the parent fractal is the eruption of spark-
; ling bits and pieces from the East Valley area, which is now on 
; the west-northwest side.  Today's image is located in one of 
; these sparkling bits.
; 
; I named the image "Festival Fractal".  The name was inspired by 
; the four brilliant eruptions at the corners of the pattern 
; around the midget.  With a small stretch of the imagination, 
; these eruptions could be a New Year's fireworks display.
; 
; The rating of a 7 seems appropriate for the unusually striking 
; image.  The render time of 5-odd minutes is worth the effort.  
; But the most convenient way to view the image is to pay a visit 
; to the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and view the finished image there.
; 
; A typical winter day here at Fractal Central on Sunday, with a 
; temperature of 39F 4C, went unappreciated by the fractal cats, 
; who still have not tired of the leftover Christmas things scat-
; tered around.  As for myself, I spent the day uneventfully, 
; searching for that elusive perfect fractal.  Not finding it, I 
; settled for the peace that comes when notable events do not 
; happen.  But one thing almost certain to happen will take place 
; in 24 hours, when the next FOTD appears.  Until then, take care, 
; and search for the peace in everyday life.
