Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:  

Today's image lies in the same squashed-bug parent as yesterday's, but instead of being located in the bug's head, today's image lies in a valley of a large disconnected minibrot just northeast of the main body of the parent.

This valley has two totally dis-similar sides, a peculiarity that is reflected in today's image with its large sinuous areas and contrasting smaller areas of angular chaos.

The name "On the Other Side" refers to the location of the scene in the parent fractal.  The art rating of a 7 shows that I consider today's image to be somewhat of an improvement over yesterday's, while the math rating of a 5 shows that the math trick is old hat.

The calculation time of a dragging 4 minutes may be eliminated by checking the web sites.

A mix of clouds and sun with a temperature of 81F 27C made today another rather pleasant one here at Fractal Central.  The fractal cats and humans had an uneventful afternoon, which was pleasant to experience but makes boring reading.

The next FOTD will be posted sometime next month, maybe as soon as tomorrow.  Until whenever, take care, and sometimes the losers of battles turn out to be winners.
