; FOTD -- June 07, 2008 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; A lot of flashy colors and a lot of filaments do not make a 
; superior fractal.  This description fits today's image, which 
; rates only a 6.  Today's fractal lies in the Z^(sqrt(2))+C 
; Mandeloid as it appears 13 levels up the logarithmic ladder 
; when no function is used.
; 
; The most notable feature of the parent fractal is its incredibly 
; long main filament.  Today's scene is located deep in the East 
; Valley area of the most prominent minibrot on this long 
; zigzagging filament.
; 
; There is a minibrot at the center of the image, though it lies 
; far beyond the range of resolution.  As it is, the magnitude of 
; over 2*(10^12) is right at the limit, and requires the 
; mathtolerance entry to assure that the parameter file calculates 
; at the correct magnitude.
; 
; I named the image "Count Fracula", though I can see little in it 
; to connect it with that infamous monster.
; 
; The calculation time of 5-1/2 minutes is about the fractal 
; average.  But it is always a convenient choice to view the 
; finished image on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; A cloudy morning gave way to a sunny hot afternoon here at 
; Fractal Central on Friday, with a temperature of 86F 30C.  The 
; fractal cats, feeling the heat, remained in stretched-out mode.
; 
; My day was unexpectedly busy, which explains the hasty fractal.  
; Tomorrow will be slower, hopefully resulting in a better FOTD 
; image.  That image, however good, will be posted in 24 hours.  
; Until then, take care, and wait for whatever is coming.
