; FOTD -- March 05, 2007 (No Rating)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Things are still barely under control here at Fractal Central, 
; but I somehow managed to find time for one minor unrated fractal 
; image -- an image with not a single midget.
; 
; The image might be called a study in stretching, since it has 
; been stretched about 10 times in the vertical direction.  The 
; result reminds me of a landscape in southern Arizona, in the 
; area where those giant cactuses (cacti if you will) grow.  But 
; the colors are nothing like anything I have ever seen in an 
; earthly desert.  This desert can only exist on an alien planet, 
; thus the name "Alien Desert Vista".
; 
; The un-impressive parent fractal was created by mixing Z^(1.8) 
; with an equal part of Z^(-0.1) and adding straight (C).  The 
; calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes is brief enough to make the 
; job of rendering the image almost a pleasure.
; 
; But if pleasure is hard to come by, the pre-calculated image is 
; available on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Sunday turned out mostly cloudy with occasional light flurries 
; of snow here at Fractal Central.  The temperature of 36F 2C 
; caused the snow to melt on contact, but the flakes drifting 
; past the fractal cats' window gave them a bit of amusement.
; 
; In my department the work is still barely under control.  Two 
; more weeks of hectic activity should bring things in line 
; however.  Until then the FOTD will appear on an occasional 
; basis, with the next installment likely later this week.  Until 
; next time, take care, and enjoy heartily.
