; FOTD -- January 17, 2014 (Rating A-9,M-5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Yesterday's garish image shows what happens when low-order 
; minibrots are decorated with brilliant colors.  Today's subtly 
; colored image shows what happens when the colors are kept to a 
; minimum.  Instead of the carnival-like atmosphere, we have a 
; fractal that could be a divine vision.
; 
; Being a marginally religious person, I named the image "Divine 
; Revelation".  The brilliant light in the upper left of the scene 
; may be identified as any divine thing or person the viewer 
; chooses.  And skeptical Atheists could even consider this light 
; to be just another feel-good delusion of the superstitious and 
; gullible.
; 
; The generating expression is Z^(1.15)+C as iterated 15 levels up 
; the hyperladder with the 'recip' function applied.  The odd 
; value of the maxiter is actually one less than 2^(15), and was 
; once the maxiter limit of Fractint.  This large value slows down 
; the calculation but also increases the definition of the bril-
; liant minibrot, which is nearly hidden in the glare and can be 
; more clearly seen by changing its inside color to black.
; 
; The art rating of a 9 is again overblown, but at least in my 
; opinion, the image is worth the rating.  The math rating of a 5 
; is more honest.  I have been doing these very low-order minibrot 
; images for quite a few years, and today's image brings nothing 
; new to the world of fractal math.
; 
; The calculation time of 5-1/4 minutes is true on my fireball 
; machine.  On a lesser or greater fireball, the time could be 
; much slower or faster.  As always, visiting the FOTD web sites 
; will end all timing worries.
; 
; The finished image is posted at:

; 
; The clouds moved in just after sunrise today here at Fractal 
; Central and hung overhead for the rest of the day, while the 
; temperature of 39F +4C kept the outside conditions quite bear-
; able.  The forecast is not so pleasant however, since we expect 
; up to several inches, or about 8cm, of snow tonight and tomorrow.
; 
; The fractal cats had a typical contented cat day.  A little more 
; sun would have made them happier however.  The humans, never 
; fully contented, once again made it through the day with nothing 
; to bring serious discontent.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted when it is ready, but no sooner 
; than the evening of the 18th Eastern Standard Time.  Until when-
; ever, take care, and if the investigations of rational science 
; stopped finding things that cause people to question their 
; religious beliefs, quite a few people would be more content.
