; ---------
; 
; FOTD -- September 24, 2013 (Rating A-9,M-7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image was created with a crazy mix of Z, Z^(2), Z^(-10) 
; and Z^(0.5).  This unlikely mix creates a parent fractal that is 
; little more than a field of debris shaped roughly like an M-set, 
; with a small minibrot near the origin.  Most of the debris lies 
; scattered west of this small minibrot, with today's scene 
; located in the East Valley of an even tinier minibrot far out in 
; the northwest part of the debris field.
; 
; I named the image "Elephant Carousel" when I saw the eight 
; elephants circling the central minibrot.
; 
; The coloring came out very well, (If I don't say so myself.), 
; and raises the art rating to a superior 9.  The math rating of a 
; 7 is more ordinary.
; 
; The calculation time lays an egg however.  The four minutes 
; required to finish the job drags notably, but this slowdown may 
; be avoided by checking the web sites.
; 
; Check the official FOTD web site at:

;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; and view the parent fractal plus variations at:

; 
; Prime weather conditions prevailed today here at Fractal 
; Central.  Once the early morning fog cleared off, not a cloud 
; was seen for the rest of the day.  The temperature rose from a 
; morning low of 36F +2C to an afternoon high of 72F 22C.  The 
; fractal cat would have enjoyed the fine weather better if FL had 
; not disturbed his nap when she was seized by an uncontrollable 
; desire to do some house cleaning.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in a number of hours.  Until the 
; exact number is revealed, take care, and I will no longer post 
; my non-fractal philosophical and political ideas to the Fractint 
; list.  Such stuff is really not fractal enough.  But I will 
; continue posting my thoughts to the official FOTD web site, 
; where anything goes.  I am even thinking of starting a blog 
; where I will share what I have observed and concluded about the 
; world and the human condition in my many (over 70) years of 
; observation.
