; FOTD -- June 28, 2012 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Sometimes the parent fractal of an image is as interesting as 
; the image itself.  The parent of today's image is one of these.  
; It vaguely resembles a Mandelbrot set, but one unlike any 
; Mandelbrot set I have ever seen.  To begin, it is rotated 180 
; degrees, so that its west side faces east.  The main bay is 
; there, as well as the surrounding buds and the large X-axis bud, 
; but don't bother searching for a main spike or an East Valley.
; 
; The large bud has a nearly flat outer edge, with not even a hint 
; of a spike, and instead of an East Valley we have an entirely 
; new series of mostly chaotic bays and valleys.  Several large 
; filament complexes extend outward from this East Valley chaos, 
; with today's scene sitting very near the extremity of the 
; northwestern complex.
; 
; The image itself features a spiral with a complex.  Instead of 
; the expected relatively smooth converging arms, we have a 
; zigzagging mass of converging filaments.  I named the image 
; "Confused Spiral" because of these filaments, which can't quite 
; decide which way to go.
; 
; The rating of an 8 indicates that the image is well worth the 45 
; seconds required to calculate it.  And even this brief 
; calculation may be avoided by viewing the image on one of the 
; web sites.
; 
; For ultimate convenience view the finished image at:

; See it in spectacular high-definition at:

; 
; Summer heat returned to Fractal Central today, with hot sun and 
; a temperature of 91F 33C.  Thankfully, the humidity was 
; relatively low.  The fractal cats passed a good part of the day 
; in their cat cubes, which are a big hit.  The humans simply 
; passed the day.  The next FOTD will be posted in a moderate 
; amount of time.  Until then, take care, and a fractal a day 
; keeps the bill collector away.  Fractals are free!
