Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image is a dive into the FOTD image of August 2, which explains the name "Revisited Venue".  Considering the wealth of detail and the effort I put into the coloring, the rating of 9 is fully justified despite the revisit, at least in my own opinion.

My first impression of the image was a surprise that a simple minibrot on a filament could be surrounded by such detail.  But maybe it should not be so surprising, considering the magnitude of almost 10^25, a magnitude at which the entire Mandelbrot set rivals the size of the visible universe.  (The present estimates are that the visible universe is about 27,000,000,000 light years in diameter.)

Unfortunately, with great magnitude comes great calculation time.  The one-hour calculation time of today's image should therefore come as no shock.

Heavy clouds and heavy rain spoiled today here at Fractal Central.  Despite the bad weather, FL spent the day paddling down the Susquehanna River in a kayak, while I stayed dry inside FC, where the recently installed sump pump did its job in the basement.  The fractal cats, who are almost always dry, became a little concerned about FL's absence, but forgot their concern when they caught the scent of tuna.  The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and be alert to the tiny changes around you.
