Fractal visionaries:

Today's fractal is a delicate little scene in the YZ plane.  Its wispy threads look almost like the veil nebula in Cygnus, but the smear across the center looks like someone had dragged a blackboard eraser through the image.

This smearing effect, which is virtually non-existent in the Mandelbrot and Julia planes is especially pronounced in the YZ plane, where it makes most fractals look like they were painted on a sheet of stretched rubber.

Hmmmm . . . rubber fractals . . . I've never thought of that.  Maybe if I *stretch* my imagination, I'll find a *snappy* one.  Then again, maybe my idea will *bounce*.  I'd better end this before everyone gets *tyred* of the rotten puns.

For tomorrow, I'll return to the good old Mandelbrot plane and the goodies therein.  Today's finished image is posted to a.b.p.f. and a.f.p.
