; FOTD -- July 13, 2012 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's parent fractal is once again an almost-Mandelbrot set.  
; This set came about when I went 22 levels up the complex 
; logarithmic hyperladder and calculated the expression 
; Z^(2.00001)+C.  But this almost-Mset set is rotated 180 degrees 
; so that its East Valley falls on the negative X-axis, where the 
; discontinuities usually lie.
; 
; The plan was to check the East-Valley type discontinuities 
; there, but I never found any.  What I found was an everyday East 
; Valley scene.  To make something of nothing, I worked on the 
; colors a bit and came up with today's image, which I named "On 
; the Bright Side" because of the unusually bright color values of 
; the image.
; 
; The only fractal 'trick' was rendering the scene with the 
; 'outside' set to 'summ'.  A better rendering and coloring might 
; have been possible, but I saw too little potential to make a 
; real effort.
; 
; Considering the image's calculation time of over 12 minutes, the 
; rating of a 7 might be a bit liberal.  (The older I grow, the 
; more conservative I become.)  Those who prefer their fractals 
; brilliant might consider the result worth the effort however.
; 
; To view the image without the need to spend 12 minutes 
; calculating it, check the official FOTD web site at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; The image may be viewed in the majesty of high-definition at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; All the FOTD images are online at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; Thickening clouds, increasing humidity, and a temperature of 91F 
; 33C made today less than ideal here at Fractal Central.  The 
; fractal cats do not demand perfection however, and they passed a 
; good part of the day curled in their cat cubes.
; 
; Meanwhile, the humans had a passable day, with little of note to 
; report.  The next FOTD will be posted in the prescribed time.  
; But most likely, there will be no FOTD's for July 15, 16 and 17. 
; Until whenever, take care, and perhaps reality is nothing more 
; than interacting field patterns.
