Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:  

Today's rather mystical scene lies in the East Valley section of the (-Z)^(1.1)+C Mandeloid, but with a few changes included.  To begin, the angle of the slice is not oriented in the Mandelbrot orientation.  It is double rotated 10,10 degrees toward the Julia orientation.  In addition, the slice is not centered in a critical plane.  It is offset +1.6 in the real Z direction.  It has also been stretched over 2.8 times in the horizontal direction, and the inside area, which includes the pyramid, has has been rendered with the inside set to the 'atan' option to create the star field effect.

All of these tricks produce an image with an art worth of a very high 8.  The math rates a 6, since the math workings really bring nothing new or unusual.

The name "Pyramid in Sight" simply states a fact.  It promises nothing more nor anything less than the image has to offer.

The calculation time of a little over 6 minutes is somewhat slow, but considering the image, it is worth the effort.  Luckily, the image may be seen on the FOTD web sites simply by pushing a few buttons.

A mix of sun and clouds, with a temperature of 55F 13C made today one of the best in several weeks here at Fractal Central.  The fractal cats celebrated the break by sleeping most of the afternoon.  The humans did nothing worth reporting, which is pleasant to experience but boring to hear about.

The next FOTD will be posted soon.  Until whenever, take care and going out marching and singing songs is fun, but those who cry so much about climate change should be willing to make the life-style changes necessary to start doing something about it.
