; FOTD -- November 12, 2009 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; I rated today's image at a 6, though I can really see nothing in 
; it that might earn such a rating.  The image is a hopelessly 
; scrambled scene in the Z^(1.618)+C Mandeloid as it appears 34 
; levels up the complex logarithmic ladder when no function is 
; applied.
; 
; The parent fractal is shaped like a rough M-set with the largest 
; bud facing southeast.  A blunt valley lies on the southeast edge 
; of this large bud, roughly dividing it in half.  Today's scene 
; shows the chaotic detail surrounding a tiny minibrot near a 
; larger minibrot located moderately deep in this valley.
; 
; The name "Is it Beautiful?" expresses the way I feel about most 
; scenes in the Mandeloids with exponents between 1 and 2.  The 
; image certainly is chaotic enough, but is it beautiful?  Well, 
; they say that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, so I guess 
; it's up to the individual viewer to behold the image and decide.
; 
; The decision can be made easier by running the included para-
; meter file and waiting 8 minutes.  The easiest way to see the 
; image is to view it in finished form on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Heavy clouds and a temperature of a chilly 54F 12C kept a damper 
; on things here at Fractal Central on Wednesday.  The fractal 
; cats checked the conditions once or twice, then decided to 
; devote their energy to getting food.
; 
; For me it was an average day.  The next FOTD will be posted in 
; 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and things have to get better 
; because they couldn't possibly be worse. . . . (Want to bet?)
