Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: 

Today's scene lies in the same Julibrot we have been working with for the past several days.  This time we check the critical Mandeloid that results when Z is initialized to -0.105...  The parent fractal is a Mandeloid with two main bays.  Today's scene lies in a bit of debris inside the smaller eastern bay.  The scene's 50-50 background consists of 'fmod' inside fill.  The only outside things in the image are the floating bits and pieces scattered about in the foreground.

I named the image "Two Hidden Minibrots".  The two minibrots lie near the left edge of the scene and are colored a brilliant white, which does little to obscure them.

The art rating of an 8 shows that I rather enjoy the image.  The math rating of a 7 is helped by the artistic value.

Unfortunately, the calculation time of 11-3/4 minutes cannot be reduced by running the parameter file with the passes set to 'G'.  Doing so would cut the time by more than half, but it would also miss many of the smaller 'outside' islands.  It is in cases like this where the web sites shine.

A foggy start followed by a mix of sun and clouds with a temperature of 79F 26C made today near ideal here at Fractal Central.  When the much hated tomcat from up the street went parading by, the fractal cat issued a challenge . . . from the safety of his window.  The humans were given their challenge by the work load.

The next FOTD will be posted sometime in the foreseeable future, most likely sooner than later.  Until whenever, take care, and would the next doomsday prophet please stand up to be counted.
