; ---------
; 
; FOTD -- September 26, 2013 (Rating A-5,M-?)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's unlikely scene came about when I mixed various parts of 
; (1/Z), (Z), (Z^2) and Z^(-0.5) to produce a parent fractal 
; almost beyond description.  This quirky mixture has critical 
; points at 0.225... and -0.262...  Today's parent is the one that 
; is created when Z is initialized to -0.262...
; 
; The closest I can come to describing this parent is to say it 
; vaguely resembles half a Mandelbrot set split right across the 
; middle and giving birth to a shapeless blob.  Today's scene is 
; located in a valley on the west side of the blob.
; 
; This parent fractal is indeed critical.  This is confirmed by 
; the intact M-set shaped minibrots that lurk in it.  But today's 
; image shows open holes of a different sort.  These midgets, if 
; they are minibrots at all, are shaped nothing like baby M-sets, 
; they resemble something closer to stone-age arrowheads.  And as 
; a few zoom-ins will show, they fill the scene.
; 
; I named the image "Flying Flinders", though I have no idea what 
; might have just exploded and filled the air with the flinders.
; 
; The artistic value of the image rates a humble 5.  What more 
; could I do for an image with so little going for it.  I rated 
; the math aspect at a question mark because the formula has 
; nothing really new in it.
; 
; But today's arrowhead minibrots are not all the parent has in 
; it.  With so many widely varied areas, who knows what might turn 
; up.  I'll give the parent a couple more good examinations before 
; trashing it.
; 
; The calculation time of 3-3/4 minutes is slow because the scene 
; lies rather deep in a valley, and also because the formula is a 
; slow one.  Time may be saved by checking the finished image on 
; one of the FOTD web sites.

; 
; After a foggy start, the afternoon turned perfect here at 
; Fractal Central today, with photoshop blue skies, decorative 
; cirrus clouds and a temperature of 72F 22C, which was right on 
; the mark.  The fractal cat was more interested in the increasing 
; number of pigeons than in the weather.  The humans took several 
; glances at the weather, then turned to more human things.  The 
; next FOTD will be posted whenever it is.  Until that magic 
; moment arrives, and it could be as near as 24 hours, take care, 
; and see you in the fractal shop soon.
