Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:  

Today's image lies in the parent fractal that results when a ridiculously tiny part of Z^(100) is subtracted from Z^(1.008) before straight (C) is added on each iteration.  This parent appears as a large circle that lies mostly off the left edge of the screen, with a tiny mandel shaped object at its eastern edge.  Today's scene is located very near the X-axis, at the eastern extremity of the entire parent fractal.

The name "High-order Hijinks" was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the image.

The art and math aspects both rate a 7.  The colors are not all that impressive, while the math trick is nothing new.

The 2-1/4 minute wait while the image calculates may be eliminated by checking the web sites.

The mix of clouds and sun, along with the temperature of 84F 29C, gave nothing to remember the day by here at Fractal Central today.  The fractal cats were so bored that they almost forgot to take their afternoon naps.  The fractal humans, who are becoming ever more disgusted with the world and its madnesses, wished they had the time for naps.

The next FOTD will be posted soon.  Until whenever, take care, and what well known biological species is now almost totally addicted to electronic gadgets?
