; FOTD -- September 05, 2009 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The philofractal version of this FOTD is much longer.
; 
; Today's image shows a minibrot of order 1.5.  It lies rather 
; deep in the Seahorse Valley of the Z^(1.5)+C Mandeloid as it 
; appears 55 levels up the logarithmic ladder when no function is 
; applied.  I named the image "Half a Valley Down", a name that 
; has at least a bit of something to do with its location in its 
; parent.
; 
; The minibrot impresses me as being just a little better than the 
; average minibrot of order 1.5.  All things considered, I rated 
; the image at a 6.  At first glance, there appears to be some-
; thing important just beyond the right edge of the frame.  When I 
; checked there however I found nothing but an area of bottomless 
; pits with no minibrots at their centers.
; 
; The calculation time of 6-1/3 minutes is rather slow for an 
; image that rates a mere 6.  I recommend going to the FOTD web 
; site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and viewing the completed image there.  Doing this will 
; eliminate the hassle of running the parameter file.
; 
; Friday was totally perfect here at Fractal Central, with blue 
; skies, light winds, and a temperature of 81F 27C.  The fractal 
; cats took advantage of the sun, which is now coming in their 
; window at a more favorable angle.  My day was near average.  
; With a 3-day holiday week-end coming up, I can't guarantee a 
; FOTD on every day, but we'll see how it goes.  The next FOTD is 
; scheduled in 24 hours.  Until then, or whenever, take care, and 
; believe in reality.
