Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

I rated today's image at an 8 because ever since I saw 'Night of the Living Dead', zombies have been my favorite horror movie creatures.  The image reminds me of a horde of zombies, stretching all the way to the horizon, relentlessly advancing on their hapless victim.  Actually, these zombies are made of fractal stuff, which means the horde extends beyond the horizon.  In fact, the horde of walking dead extends forever.

The zombies were found with the same formula that generated yesterday's image, though to create today's scene I changed the function to 'one', which I believe substitutes the number one for the expression.  I left the six variable parameters unchanged.

The parent fractal is a circle of radius one, filled with things that resemble today's image.  yes, it's zombies all the way from the top down, and the pit is bottomless.

The calculation time of 15 seconds is no mistake.  The image is incredibly fast, especially since most of it consists of inside stuff.  Zombies reproduce at an incredible rate.

Lots of sun and a temperature of 84F 29C made today a winner here at Fractal Central.  The fractal cats took a break from their cat cubes and spent much of the day stretched on their favorite chairs.  The rest of the time they devoted to asking for food.

The humans had another in the long string of typical days.  The next FOTD will be posted in a short time, maybe 24 hours, maybe 48.  Until whenever, take care, and crying towels are now being distributed to those who are disappointed with the current administration.
