; ---------
; 
; FOTD -- December 20, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; In yesterday's image we checked the ersatz East Valley of the 
; parent Zexpe fractal; in today's image we check the ersatz 
; Seahorse Valley.  We certainly do find a lot of broken seahorse 
; tails there, but few intact seahorses.  This lack of seahorses 
; is the inspiration for the name "Missing Seahorses".  But who 
; needs whole seahorses when their dismembered tails make an image 
; with an art rating of a 7 despite the preponderance of brownish 
; and reddish hues?
; 
; The somewhat liberal math rating of an 8 is based on the 
; minibrot at the center, which is the mirror image of the parent 
; fractal and has the pathological growth on the southeast side of 
; the main bay rather than the southwest side.  This is the first 
; time I have noticed this relation, but certainly not the first 
; time it has happened.
; 
; The calculation time of 7-1/2 minutes is slow, and I'm not sure 
; the image is worth it, but the FOTD web sites are always ready 
; to cure the problem of slowness.
; 
; The completed image is posted online at:

; 
; Cloudy skies and occasional sprinkles of rain made today far 
; less than ideal here at Fractal Central, though the temperature 
; of 43F +6C kept the outdoors reasonably comfortable.  The 
; fractal cats were too busy keeping an eye on each other to 
; notice what was happening outside.  The humans kept themselves 
; busy making final preparations for the big day.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in a number of hours.  To find out 
; the exact number, check here every few hours.  Until whenever, 
; take care, and everyone has the freedom to speak his mind and 
; the freedom to disagree with the spoken opinions of others.
