Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: 

Today's image combines 3.4 negative parts of Z^(-1.4) with 0.85 negative part of Z^(-5.4) on each iteration.  The parent fractal is a typical double negative thing with the usual north-south chain of large bays and a large 'fan' pointing east from the origin.  A cloud of cut-off fractal rings surrounds the whole thing.  Today's image lies on the eastern rim of the 'fan'.

The over-rich effect of the image was achieved by rendering the scene with the outside set to 'tdis', which divides the elements into extremely narrow bands.

The name "Over-Stimulation" refers to the super-abundance and super-richness of the colors in the image.  This overkill holds the art rating to a mediocre 6.  The math has been doing its thing for over 10 years, so I could rate it no higher than an unimpressive 5.

The calculation time of 3-3/4 minutes borders on slowness, but the web sites will greatly reduce the wait for satisfaction.

A mix of sun and clouds with a temperature of 43F +6C made today a typical November day here at Fractal Central.  The fractal cats, who are getting along quite well, paid little attention to the outside weather, looking instead for more food.  The fractal humans, who sometimes deny their fractal nature, had another near normal day.

The next FOTD will be posted, most likely but not certainly, in 24 hours.  Until the time arrives when it actually is posted, take care, and scientific truth occasionally changes, while religious doctrine almost never changes.  Which is more likely to be true?
