; FOTD -- September 27, 2011 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is a scene in the parent fractal that results when 
; the expression Z^(1.99)+C is iterated at ground level with the 
; 'recip' function applied.  This parent resembles a Mandelbrot 
; set rotated about 15 degrees CCW so that the negative X-axis 
; cuts through the northwest shore line of the large period-2 bud. 
; The image is located in the area of this intersection, where 
; things always go a bit goofy.
; 
; I named the image "Jewel of the Deep" when the bright patches 
; reminded me of something like pearls lying on the sea floor.  
; Yes, I know pearls don't just lie on the sea floor, waiting to 
; be picked up.  They are formed in oysters.
; 
; The rating of a 7 is getting to be a habit, but who can complain 
; about an image a full 2 points above average.  The calculation 
; time of 2-2/3 minutes is a fair price for an image with a rating 
; of a 7.
; 
; For even more fairness, check the official FOTD web site at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; where the finished image is posted.

; 
; The day here at Fractal Central began with a mild thunder 
; shower, followed by alternating sun and showers until 3pm, when 
; a whopper of a storm moved in with crackling lightning and 
; torrential rain.  The fractal sump pump did its job however.  
; The temperature of 73F 23C was agreeable enough, at least for 
; the fractal cats.  FL and I had a typical day of doing routine 
; stuff, none of which is worth reporting.  
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take 
; care, and let's stop making apologies for God's behavior.  Let's 
; stop preaching about His mysterious ways.  Let's hold our image 
; of God to at least the imperfect standards of behavior we 
; consider acceptable for ourselves.
