Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: 

In today's image I mixed together various portions of (1/Z), (Z^2), (Z^3) and (Z^-4).  With this strange combination, the only critical value I could find for initial Z is -0.6926...  The resulting Mandeloid appears as an undersized Mandelbrot set located well out on the positive X-axis.  Today's image lies on the eastern edge of the north branch of Seahorse Valley of this remote M-set.

The large-scale shape of the image elements is routine Seahorse Valley stuff that can be found in Seahorse Valley of the classic M-set, but the small-scale texture is unique to the particular exponents that were combined into today's image.  This texture could (most likely) never be found in the M-set with the outside set to 'iter' as it is in today's image.

The name "Raspberry Riot" is obviously based on the eight brilliant red elements surrounding the central minibrot.

The artistic rating of a superior 8 indicates that I put extra effort into the coloring.  The math rating of a humdrum 5 shows that IMO the math trick is beginning to grow stale.

The drawback is the calculation time of 9-3/4 seconds, which is slow indeed.  But the web sites are always there to ease the impatience.

An un-notable mix of sun and clouds prevailed here at Fractal Central today, with a near average temperature of 68F 20C.  The fractal cat, who may soon find himself with a new companion, enjoyed the conditions well enough.  The humans, with other things to do, neither enjoyed nor were annoyed by the weather.

The next FOTD will be posted before too long.  Until then, take care, and let's put all the political losers out to pasture.  If we did, I wonder who would be left to run things.
