; FOTD -- October 01, 2010 (No Rating)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; While reading Mike's description of his Elephant Valley 3-D 
; animation, I noticed that he saw no elephants in the area.  In 
; today's image the lost elephants have been found.
; 
; The image is a blow-up of a small section of the FOTD image for 
; Sep 27.  And it is filled with elephants.  True, the elephants 
; appear quite different from the standard ones in East Valley of 
; the M-set, but they are definitely there.
; 
; The most recognizable elephants lie around the upper arch of the 
; large open area.  They appear to be arising as hollow outlines 
; from the depths on the left, arching over the open area, giving 
; a mighty trumpet, and then diving back into the depths on the 
; right.
; 
; But turn the image upside down.  There are more elephants hiding 
; in the 'outside' stuff below the open area.  They are rather 
; distorted, but unlike the upper elephants, they are filled with 
; much detail.
; 
; Since the image is a near repeat of a recent image, and I reused 
; the same color palette, I could give today's image no rating.
; 
; I raised the maxiter to 32767 to better define the narrow high-
; iteration stripe across the center of the scene.
; 
; The name "The Lost Elephants" is a bit misleading.  Actually, 
; the elephants have been found.
; 
; The calculation time of 3-1/4 minutes may be more than cut in 
; half by rendering the scene with passes=g, but some smaller 
; detail will be lost.  Rendering with passes=1 gives the best 
; result, but doubles the calculation time.  The calculation task 
; may be totally avoided by viewing the finished image on the FOTD 
; web site at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; Torrential rain came in squally bursts here at Fractal Central 
; on Thursday, accompanied by gusty south winds and a surprisingly 
; warm temperature of 77F 25C.  The wind caused an hour-long power 
; outage in the late afternoon, but the work was already finished 
; and little inconvenience was felt.  The fractal cats never 
; noticed that the power went out.  The fractal basement took on 
; surprisingly little water considering the approximately 4-in 
; 10-cm of rain that fell up to 7pm.  My day was spent waiting to 
; bail out the basement, but no bailing was needed.  The next FOTD 
; will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and think 
; positively negative.
