Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image shows a curious minibrot, (if this is the proper name for such creatures), that lies on what remains of the main stem of the Mandelbrot set when the Julibrot is sliced at an angle oriented 20 degrees from the Oblate toward the Elliptic direction.

To bring the image to reasonable proportions, I stretched it about 4 times in the horizontal direction, which is a little excessive, but makes the best effect.

In my opinion the image is worth a rating of a 7, not the least of it due to the coloring, which brings blue to a new extreme.  The name "Feeling the Blues" describes the mood of the scene.

The calculation time of 23 seconds will pass in half a flash, as also will the trip to the FOTD web site at:

       http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/

to see the pre-calculated finished image.

A mixture of sun and clouds and a temperature of 50F 10C kept everyone happy here at Fractal Central on Sunday.  In the evening, Cassie, the smaller fractal cat, started growling at something in the yard, but we could see nothing.  Nicholas, the large cat, assured her that all was well, and after a few minutes, whatever had her concerned moved on.  Meanwhile, my day was average.

The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and sometimes a person needs light to see the light.
