Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: 

Today's image is evaporated, which means the escape radius has been increased until nothing but trapped 'inside' stuff remains.  The blank scene was then rendered with the inside set to 'bof61', bringing to life the apparently dead inside stuff.

Something in the resulting image reminds me of an undersea scene, which is what I named it.

The parent fractal combines 0.7 part of Z^(-0.5) with 0.1 part of Z^(-5.5), then adds (1/C) on each iteration.  The resulting figure resembles an oversized peanut with a larger area of squiggly chaos to its northeast.  Today's scene lies in the outer part of this squiggly chaos.

Thanks to my extra coloring effort, the artistic rating of the image is a very respectful 8.  The evaporated nature of the parent fractal raises the math interest to a not-too-bad 7.

The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes will seem to pass quickly after the top part of the image appears.  Those who do not calculate fractals may view the finished image at one of the web sites.

Today brought lots of clouds to Fractal Central, and even a few minor sprinkles of rain.  The temperature of 82F 28C must have been perfect, at least for the fractal cat, who passed the afternoon sleeping and eating while the fractal humans worked.

The next FOTD *will* be posted.  Exactly when is anybody's guess, but it will not be too long.  Until whenever, take care, and due to the limited speed of light it is currently scientifically impossible for aliens from distant stars to reach us here on earth.  Yet many people claim to see alien ships in our skies.  Either science is missing something big or a lot of people are mistaken.  Or perhaps the aliens are unfamiliar with our earth science and visit us despite the impossibility.
