Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: 

Today's image bears an artistic rating of 8 and a math value of 9.  This is because it is the most spectacular anti-minibrot I have yet found, a fact that obviously also inspired its name.

The image shows the exact opposite of a minibrot, or what I call an anti-minibrot.  Instead of a basin at the center, the image has a hill; while instead of doubling in number as the center is approached, the number of elements is cut in half.

The scene lies in left-over debris cluttering a minibrot that lies rather deep in an elephant trunk of East Valley of the parent fractal, which on the surface is an everyday Mandelbrot set, but in its depths is corrupted by quintic energies.

Except for a minor tweaking of one register, the extremely busy color palette was created by a random strike of the <enter> key.

The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is fast enough for most fractalists, but a bit of time may still be saved by checking the web sites.

Today brought increasing clouds and a temperature of 75F 24C to Fractal Central.  The fractal cat noticed the gradually weakening sun; the humans noticed the work.

The next FOTD will be posted when I get a round tuit.  Until the tuit appears, take care, and the rest of the world knows that the people in the U.S. are a bunch of gun-loving fast-shooting racists.  But why then did we racists twice elect a black president by such a sizable margin?
