Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image is a colorful scene in the fractal that results when 5000 parts of Z^(epsilon+) is subtracted from 5000 parts of Z^(epsilon-) and C is added.

I gave the image neither name nor rating, though it is well worthy of these fractal hallmarks.

The included parameter file runs in under 6 minutes on my very old machine, a time well within the realm of reason.

A perfect day weather-wise here at Old Fractal Central on Thursday kept the fractal cats in their best moods.  If the work had been a bit less, my mood would have been better.  The next FOTD fractal will likely appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and fly with the pterodactyls.
