; FOTD -- July 24, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; After studying today's image for a few seconds, I decided that 
; it appears to be filled with pillows.  Maybe it is, maybe not, 
; but whatever, I named it "Soft Landing".
; 
; The generating expression mixes 0.125 part of Z^(-2.5) with Z^2 
; before adding (1/C) on each iteration.  This combination 
; produces an oversized Mandeloid that resembles nothing as much 
; as a kidney bean or a peanut, with the East Valley on the west 
; side and the small, almost invisible main spike pointing east.  
; Today's scene lies on the north shore line of the 'east' valley.
; 
; The art rates a 7.  After all, I did put some extra effort into 
; the coloring.  The math rates only a 6.  Today's math trick is 
; over 10 years old.
; 
; The calculation time of 4-3/4 minutes borders on slowness.  To 
; save time and effort, check the finished image on the FOTD web 
; sites.
; 
; The finished image is posted at:

; 
; Near perfect conditions prevailed here at Fractal Central today, 
; with photoshop (aka kodachrome) blue skies, cotton-candy white 
; clouds and a temperature of 77F 25C.  Both the fractal cats and 
; humans enjoyed the conditions as much as possible.  The next 
; FOTD will be posted soon.  Until 'soon' arrives, take care, and 
; be wise.
