; FOTD -- May 06, 2012 (Rating 9)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; For today I see we have a fractal that earns a splendid 9.  
; Hopefully, we're beginning a spell of high-quality images that 
; will bring awe and wonder to even the mildly interested fans of 
; the wonders of fractals.
; 
; Today's parent fractal came about when I subtracted 0.525 parts 
; of Z^(-1.32) from 0.75 parts of Z^(1.23) then added straight C 
; on each iteration.  This combination produces a fractal that 
; resembles a twisted Mandelbrot set with its main bud on the 
; southwest side of the oversized main bay, and the northeast 
; shore line of the main bay seriously eroded.  Today's scene lies 
; on the zigzagging spike extending south from the main bud.
; 
; To add a bit of zest to the image I rendered it with the outside 
; set to 'real', which eliminates the boring flatness that spoils 
; the normal 'iter' version.
; 
; The name "The Birth of Light" sounds rather mystical and is 
; fully appropriate for an image made of numbers.  The calculation 
; time of 1-3/4 minutes should cause little impatience.
; 
; To eliminate all chance of impatience, a finished 640x480x256 
; version of the image is online at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; A high definition rendering is posted at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; Thousands of past FOTD fractals and discussions are available at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; Today brought morning clouds to Fractal Central and sun for most 
; of the afternoon.  The temperature of 72F 21C must have satisfied 
; the fractal cats, who slept the entire afternoon.
; 
; There was no FOTD on Saturday, May 5, because FL and I took the 
; day off to visit an antique emporium in State College, a city 
; about 60 miles (100km) west of here, where the Penn State child 
; abuse scandal recently broke.  But, at least while we were there, 
; one would never guess there had even been a scandal.  Today, we 
; simply took it easy.  The next FOTD will appear soon.  Until 
; that vague time arrives, take care, and be alert for the forces 
; of evil.
