; FOTD -- March 09, 2014 (Rating A-8,M-5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is named "Down in the Dumps".  The name does not 
; refer to a duck fight at the city dump, it indicates the mood of 
; the image.  I have rarely seen such a depressed looking minibrot 
; sitting so sorrowfully in the middle of such a depressed color 
; scheme.
; 
; The parent fractal came about when I iterated the expression 
; Z^(1.3)+C at a level of 11 steps up the complex-logarithmic 
; hyperladder.  This parent is shaped much like the minibrot in 
; today's image, though it is standing on its downcast head.  
; Today's scene is located in a field of debris surrounding the 
; period-5 bud on the northeast shore line of the main bay of the 
; parent.
; 
; Because of the overwhelming gloominess in the image, a good part 
; of which was created by the colors, I have rated the art aspect 
; at a cheerful 8.  The math aspect is worth an average 5, since 
; these multi-valued log images are nothing new.
; 
; The calculation time of 1-2/3 minutes might seem to go slowly at 
; the start, but once the image's gloominess becomes apparent, it 
; will slow down markedly.
; 
; Those who find no enjoyment in the gloom of setting up and 
; running parameter files may view the finished image at:

; 
; The official FOTD web site is still behind, but will be caught 
; up in a matter of a few days.
; 
; Except for the slightly lower temperature of 45F +6C, today, 
; with its near total sun, was a repeat of yesterday.  The 11-year-
; old fractal cat enjoyed the sun on the window shelf for the 
; entire afternoon, while the 6-1/2-month-old fractal kitten 
; remained confined to her private room until she recovers from 
; her recent talk with the doctor about the facts of life.  The 
; fractal humans passed the day being human.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in the very foreseeable future.  
; Until then, take care, and it's really hard to maintain a 
; totally depressed outlook on things.
