; FOTD -- January 14, 2007 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's rather unusual image is a scene in the Z^(1.5)+C Mandel-
; oid as it appears 111 levels up the logarithmic ladder.  At this 
; level the parent fractal, much like yesterday's parent fractal, 
; resembles a distorted Mandelbrot set rotated 180 degrees.  
; Today's scene is located near the tip of a cluster of filaments 
; on the southwest shoreline of what passes for a main bay.
; 
; Today's FOTD is unusual for an image in the Z^1.5 range.  It 
; actually shows some detail other than radiating discontinuities.
; 
; The near-perfect spirals twisting from the midget are what 
; brings the image to a rating of a 7.
; 
; The name "Spirals of Desire" came to mind while I was standing 
; in line at the local market this afternoon, and happened to 
; glance at the title of one of those junky romance paperbacks 
; that flood the shelves of book stores.
; 
; The render time of 2-1/4 minutes is thankfully brief.  The only 
; thing briefer would be a visit to the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; where the pre-rendered image will soon be posted, if it is not 
; already posted, for quick and easy viewing.
; 
; Clouds and occasional sprinkles of rain, with a temperature of 
; 46F 8C, kept a damper on things here at Fractal Central on 
; Saturday.  The fractal cats were still out of sorts with each 
; other for most of the day, but their evening treat seemed to 
; restore their good moods.  Tomorrow will tell how permanent the 
; good moods are.
; 
; My day was fair enough.  My bum ankle is about 80-percent 
; recovered, and the work is light.  This could be good news in 
; the fractal department.  To be sure the news is good, check 
; back here in 24 hours, when the next FOTD appears.  Until then, 
; take care, and be of good cheer.
