; FOTD -- April 23, 2010 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image earns an 8 because of its unusually brilliant 
; colors.  Take away the colors and it's just another fractal with 
; an "East Valley" appearance.
; 
; The parent fractal is an error.  Instead of resetting the 
; function to 'reciprocal' I let it stay at 'cosine' and came up 
; with what might be the start of an entirely new family of 
; fractals.  (I would never have made the error if the program 
; would accept the entry 'recip' written directly in the iterated 
; section instead of a more awkward 'fn1', which refers back to 
; the initialization section.)
; 
; The resulting parent fractal appears as a rough Mandelbrot-set 
; shape rotated 180 degrees, with all kinds of extra stuff 
; stretched along the positive X-axis.  Today's scene is located 
; very near the X-axis, just east of the easternmost block of 
; 'stuff'.
; 
; The magnitude is once again quite large, which makes the 
; mathtolerance entry necessary.  The name "The Eastern Horizon" 
; is something that popped to mind when I tried to think of a 
; name.
; 
; The calculation time of 4 minutes is satisfactory for an image 
; that rates an 8.  Also satisfactory is the trip to view the 
; completely calculated image on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; Despite ominous clouds at times, Thursday proved to be quite a 
; pleasant day here at Fractal Central, with a temperature of 70F 
; 21C and ample sun between the billowing cumulus clouds.  The 
; fractal cats ignored the outside weather and enjoyed the inside 
; conditions, which included a treat of tuna and cheddar, and a 
; romp up and down the hallway.
; 
; My day was good enough, but could have been better if I had not 
; volunteered to satisfy an irate customer who claimed we had not 
; followed her instructions.  The next FOTD will be posted in 24 
; hours.  Until then, take care, and if you want it done right, do 
; it yourself.
