Fractal visionaries:

I admit it, today's fractal formula is outrageous.  I wrote it about a year ago on a day when I was feeling particularly reckless.  I expected nothing more than a blank screen from it, but despite its ridiculous appearance, it makes interesting pictures.  The parameter file for one of them is attached below.  Tower" is the name I gave the picture when I noticed the tower of exponents in the formula.

The picture still has the Fractint default magnitude.  I have yet to zoom either in or out on it, so I have no idea what's deeper inside it.  The finished image has been posted to ABPF as always.
