; FOTD -- May 26, 2010 (Rating 5.5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image shows a screen full of fractal stuff.  When I saw 
; the stuff, I named the image "More Fractal Stuff".  The scene 
; lies in the parent fractal that results when the formula 
; Z^(1.025)+C is calculated 27 levels up the complex logarithmic 
; hyper-spiral.
; 
; This parent fractal resembles a stone arrowhead with the tip 
; facing NNW.  Today's image is located in debris on the western 
; edge of the large and only open bay.
; 
; The incredible thing about the image is that an expression so 
; close to being linear can result in such detail when iterated a 
; few thousand times.  At first glance the scene looks totally 
; chaotic, but a second look reveals tiny repeating patterns all 
; through the frame.
; 
; Unfortunately, there is no center of attention in the image, and 
; this lack of a unifying theme costs a full rating point.  The 
; bit of extra work I put into the coloring raised the rating a 
; half-point above an everyday 5, but do not expect the thrill of 
; a lifetime when the image first appears.
; 
; The calculation time of 6-2/3 minutes is slower than the result 
; is worth, so I advise surfing out to see the finished image on 
; the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; Summer arrived here at Fractal Central on Tuesday, with hot sun 
; all day and a temperature of 86F 30C.  The fractal cats of FC 
; stretched out on the carpet and looked very happy.  My day was 
; reasonable, which is well within reason.  The next FOTD will be 
; posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and maybe I should 
; follow the media, which tells us what we should worry about, and 
; be more concerned about global warming and less concerned about 
; cell-phone radiation.
