; FOTD -- May 16, 2007 (Rating 6.5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; With today's fractal we return to the well-used MandelbrotBC2 
; formula and examine the Z^(1.618)+C Mandeloid as it appears 74 
; levels down the logarithmic ladder.  At this level it resembles 
; a Mandelbrot set with its main bud facing southeast and its East 
; Valley flattened out and filled with chaos.  Today's image is 
; located in some of the farther-out debris in the area of what 
; passes for East Valley.
; 
; The name of the image has nothing to do with a blessed railroad 
; station.  When I shut off my mind in search of a name, the 
; phrase "Sanctified Station" popped into my head.  So this is 
; what I named it.
; 
; When struggling for a rating I was undecided between 6 and 7.  I 
; resolved the conflict by giving the image a rating of a 6-1/2.  
; If the central midget were a bit more prominent, the rating 
; would have been a 7.
; 
; The calculation time of 2-1/3 minutes is true on the ancient 
; workhorse P200 computer.  The more S.O.T.A. P4-2000 unit would 
; finish calculation in about 30 seconds.
; 
; But calculation time will be no problem for those who visit the 
; FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; where the image is posted for instant and easy viewing.
; 
; Wednesday proved to be unusually warm here at Fractal Central.  
; The hot sun and temperature of 88F 31C kept the fractal cats 
; away from the sunnier windows.  My day was busier than average, 
; but not excessively so.  The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  
; Until then, take care, but stop taking care long enough to enjoy 
; the Fractal of the Day.
