; ---------
; 
; FOTD -- November 13, 2013 (Rating A-7.5,M-5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image lies in the parent fractal that is generated when 
; straight Z is combined with sqrt(0.5) parts of Z^(4.01) before 
; straight C is added on each iteration.  This parent resembles a 
; Mandelbtot set rotated so that its west side faces southeast.  
; Its normally solid East Valley, now on its northwest side, is 
; cleaved into two prominent 'wings' by a large intruding valley.  
; Today's scene lies on the edge of this large valley, which 
; separates the two 'wings'.
; 
; The name "Land of Terraces" describes what I imagine I see in 
; the image.  Others could easily see things entirely different.
; 
; In an effort to make something of a lackluster image, I rendered 
; the scene with the outside set to 'tdis' and the inside set to 
; 'fmod'.  The result raises the art value to an amply adequate 
; 7.5, while the math value remains at a bearable 5.  With only 
; slight variations, I borrowed the parameters from an image 
; recently sent to me by Sebastien.
; 
; The calculation time of 4 minutes is a bit slow, all the more 
; reason to seek the web sites for relief.
;

; 
; Partly sunny but quite chilly temperatures prevailed here at 
; Fractal Central today.  The high of 37F +3C was more typical of 
; mid-December than mid-November.  The older fractal cat enjoyed 
; the sun when it was shining, while the younger fractal cat, who 
; does not yet realize that she is a fractal cat, was fascinated 
; by the passing scene outside.  During the cat action the fractal 
; humans had an uneventful day.  I know that this report is dull.  
; Those who want to read about relationships with more interesting 
; interaction should pick up a romance novel.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in the proper time, which will most 
; likely be sometime tomorrow evening, U.S. Eastern Standard Time. 
; Until then, take care, and thank goodness!  I was worried that I 
; might be a sasquatch!
