; 
; FOTD -- February 27, 2014 (Rating A-6,M-3)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is a scene deep in the north branch of the valley 
; just beyond Scepter Valley of the Mandelbrot set.  Since the 
; image lies at the extreme limit of the range of conventional 
; math, it will be slightly improved if rendered with arbitrary 
; precision math.  However, doing this will increase the 
; calculation time to over an hour.
; 
; I named the image "The Second Scepter" because the scene lies in 
; what I consider to be the second Scepter Valley.  
; 
; For artistic effect I set the logmap to an artificially high 
; value, but even so, it's hard to get something new out of an 
; overused idea.  As a result, I could rate the art value no 
; higher than a 6.  The math value remains a miserable 3.  After 
; all, the first thing every fractal tyro learns is the formula 
; Z^2+C.
; 
; Be prepared to wait 2-1/4 minutes for the image to finish on a 
; SOTA machine, and longer on an older unit.  In such situations 
; the web sites can bring relief.
; 
; The finished image is posted online at:

; 
; Today brought a mix of sun and clouds plus frequent flurries of 
; snow to Fractal Central.  The temperature of 25F -4C was too 
; chilly for the fractal cats, who spent the afternoon sleeping.  
; The fractal humans, who could not take time to sleep, passed the 
; day doing other things, which to the rest of the world would be 
; terribly uninteresting.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in the near future, most likely 
; 24 hours.  Until the next time, take care, and how could an 
; intelligent person like myself become so disillusioned with 
; the same science that I found so fascinating in my younger 
; years?
