; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image can best be described as 'different'.  True, there 
; is a Mandelbrot midget at the center, but, unlike most mini-
; brots, this midget is actually doing something.  As I see it, 
; the midget is skimming through the lower part of a cloud of 
; fractal debris, with mostly clear air under it and even denser 
; debris above.
; 
; The formula behind all this madness combines 0.4 part of Z^(3.3) 
; with 4 parts of Z^(0.1) then adds C to create a parent fractal 
; consisting of two large bays, three large buds and numerous 
; rather large lakes surrounding the main figure.  Today's scene 
; is located in a fragmentary valley separating the two bays.
; 
; To add life to the scene I rendered it with the inside parts set 
; to 'fmod'.  The proximity factor of 0.38245, which controls the 
; amount of background debris, is rather critical.
; 
; I named the image "Flying Mandelbrot", which is what it looks 
; like, and rated it at a 7, which might be a bit generous.
; 
; The render time however is a very speedy 2-1/2 minutes, which 
; should try the patience of no one.  For extra convenience, the 
; completed GIF image will soon be posted to the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Continued heavy clouds and occasional light rain kept a damper 
; on things here at Fractal Central on Sunday.  The temperature of 
; 46F 8C made little difference to the fractal cats, who, unlike 
; their normal selves, behaved pretty much like angels.  My day 
; was slow, with little to do but take it easy, watch TV and 
; explore the world of fractals.  The next FOTD will appear in 24 
; hours.  Until then, take care, and ponder the nature of reality.
