; FOTD -- June 24, 2010 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Most likely due to the hot weather, I never did work up the 
; usual enthusiasm for fractal work on Tuesday.  But once again 
; the work-horse Mandelbrot set came to the rescue with an 
; acceptable if not outstanding image.
; 
; The image takes us to the third valley out the negative X-axis 
; of the M-set.  The first valley is the well-known Seahorse 
; Valley; the second valley is Scepter Valley.  I'm not sure if 
; the third valley has an official name, though I call it 'Double 
; Scepter Valley'.  Today's image is named "Double-Scepter Scene" 
; because IMO that's what it is.
; 
; Most of the effect was achieved by setting the logmap to an 
; artificially high 10250, which creates the brilliant flat areas 
; that make the central minibrot stand out.
; 
; The rating of a 5 says that the image is just another scene in 
; the Mandelbrot set.  The calculation time of 1 minute says that 
; the type=mandel fractals run very fast on a P4-2000mhz machine.
; 
; The URL listed below says that calculation may be totally 
; avoided by viewing the finished image there.
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; The fractal cats wilted when the temperature reached 95F 35C 
; here at Fractal Central on Wednesday.  The fractalist also 
; wilted.  FL was busy however, watering her wilting flowers.  The 
; rest of the day was under control.  The next FOTD will be posted 
; in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and be with it.
