; FOTD -- May 12, 2007 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is found rather deep in a valley on the southwest 
; shoreline of the S-shaped main bay of the parent fractal that 
; results when the formula Z^sqrt(2)+C is iterated 130 levels up 
; the logarithmic ladder.
; 
; The image is unusually rich for one found in a fractal created 
; by an exponent of Z between 1 and 2.  Usually fractals in this 
; range hold far fewer spirals and much less intricate detail.  
; 
; Except for the brilliant blue inside fill, the image was 
; rendered in the traditional equal-iteration-bands manner.  All 
; the excitement is due to the fractal itself and not to any human 
; manipulation.
; 
; I named the image "Apparition Root" for no obvious reason.  Then 
; I rated it at a 6, which seems about right.  The calculation 
; time of 14 odd minutes may be avoided by visiting the FOTD web 
; site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and viewing the image there.
; 
; Friday began with dense fog here at Fractal Central, but by 9am 
; the sun had done its work, and the rest of the day was perfect, 
; with sunny skies, gentle winds and a temperature of 81F 27C.  
; The fractal cats passed a good part of the day sitting in the 
; window, watching the world go by.  The rest of the time they 
; spent chasing each other up and down the hallway.
; 
; My day was busier than normal, but not extremely so.  The next 
; FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and be at 
; one with fun.
