Fractal visionaries:

Today's fractal is one of those amorphous ones that refuses to be categorized.  The half hidden green inner part looks vaguely like a sausage, so that's what I named it.

The flecks of foreground clutter, which resemble a magnetism fractal, are caused by mixing positive and negative exponents of Z.  The greenish high-iteration elements in the background are a mystery.  I feel that they are part of a fractal which can be glimpsed in pieces but never seen in its entirety.  If I ever found a way to remove the low-iteration clutter, the fractal that remained would be most interesting indeed.

Today's finished image has been posted to the usual Usenet groups, alt.binaries.pictures.fractals and alt.fractals.pictures.  For tomorrow, I'm not making any promises about the FOTD.  I'm just going to wing it and see what I come up with.
