; FOTD -- February 23, 2012 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The name of today's image, "Barely There", refers to the parent 
; fractal, which certainly is the least promising parent of all 
; time.  To create this parent I combined 20 negative parts of 
; Z^(-0.2) with 2 negative parts of Z^(-5.2) and added (1/C) on 
; each iteration.
; 
; Ignoring the unattractive colors, this parent is nothing more 
; than a tiny, partly open circle with a speck of a valley inside 
; it.  At first glance, this tiny bit of valley appears to have 
; little potential, but being stubborn, I checked its depths 
; anyway.  To my surprise, I found today's scene lurking at a 
; depth of over 7*(10^11).
; 
; The muddy, unpleasant colors around the edges are an intentional 
; contrast to the brilliant pink shades inside the spiral circle 
; and its smaller attached spirals.  I feel that I went a bit too 
; far in muddying the outside colors however, which holds the 
; rating to a un-notable 7.
; 
; The calculation time of 4-1/4 minutes is admittedly slow, but 
; here is where the FOTD web sites charge to the rescue.
; 
; The finished image is posted on the official FOTD web site at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>

; A high-definition version is at:

; 
; The entire FOTD image history is online at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; Blue skies dotted with puffy white clouds made today feel like a 
; day in April here at Fractal Central.  The temperature of 54F 
; 12C just added to the spring-like atmosphere.  The fractal cats 
; spent most of the afternoon sleeping peacefully in the sun, but 
; grew a little testy whenever the sun ducked behind one of the 
; small passing clouds.  FL and I avoided political talk and had 
; yet another uneventful day.  The next FOTD will be posted in 24 
; hours.  Until then, take care, and when you have a problem, take 
; a pill to cure it.
