; FOTD -- April 20, 2004 (Rating 3)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image takes us to the northeast shoreline of the main 
; bay of the Mandelbrot set, where we examine the valley leading 
; to the large period-4 bud there.
; 
; This valley is centered at 0.25+0.5i, and the slope of the main 
; bay at this point is 45 degrees, which makes it quite simple to 
; examine the area from all kinds of strange four-dimensional 
; directions.  Today's view is halfway between the Parabolic and 
; the Oblate directions.
; 
; The tiny buds that line the edges of the valley do appear in the 
; image, but they no longer appear as tiny empty circles.  The 
; circles have been stretched in one of their dimensions to 
; infinity, and appear as parallel slits partially obscured by 
; fractal debris.
; 
; By changing the imag(p1) parameter, we can see many different 
; views of the scene, all of which show the buds as slits.  If 
; imag(p1) is set at 180, the image is the same, but we are 
; looking at it from the opposite direction.  Some of these other 
; views are quite interesting, though I had little time to 
; investigate them.  I might do so sometime in the future, but 
; with today's image rating only a measly 3, I will be in no great 
; rush.  With a render time of almost 8 minutes, the image has an 
; overall value of 39.
; 
; I named the image "Gruesome-brot", not because it is horrifying 
; to look at, but because it's not a very good example of fractal 
; art.  The completed GIF image is available on the FOTD web site 
; at:.
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; It reached 91F 33C here at Fractal Central on Monday, a 
; temperature that left the fractal cats with nothing to do but 
; sleep.  They passed the afternoon sleeping in the yard, dreaming 
; whatever it is that cats dream.  Their moods were good when the 
; time came to come indoors, so I guess their day was satisfac-
; tory.  Today is starting cooler, but still mild.  We'll see how 
; the duo takes things.
; 
; I managed to trim half the grass yesterday.  The second half 
; will be finished sometime this afternoon.  Until next FOTD, take 
; care, and look for the best.
