I watched your movie again and notice that once you find the trench you
then zoom in to one side. What if instead you were to start moving south
at this part in the animation. Would the trench become thinner to the
point of not being able to be resolved? What I find most interesting
about this is that the trench disappears and the reappears once you zoom
in far enough. I can't figure out why this is. If you were to start
moving north, wouldn't you eventually run into what we normally see as
the tip of seahorse valley? Yet if I zoom in on one of those tips, it
appears to come to an end and doesn't seem connected to the trench you
have found!""

Well, I think the 2 bulbs are mathemagically connected in theory, but you can never see it cause as you continue to zoom in you just get the same ever narrowing gulf. If you "see" a bridge between the bulbs its cause the iterations aint high enuf.

Moving South, it looks ever the same ad infinitum. Only thing is the "bulbs" get smaller relative to the width of the trench, but they all look the same - it even gets alittle boring. When you see the trench "disappear" then re-appear it is simply due to resolution and pixels. This is what I used to get down there - I kept diving south with maximum iterations till the trench walls did not resolve any more, then zoomed in to that point.

Going way North will eventually take you to the familiar seahorsies again.

Ain't it so!

BTW, I saw a swirling vortex last weekend - a full freakin' tornado! NorthEast of Denver. It was comin' strait at me and it looked scary, specially thru binoculars. Never saw one before - awesome!

Stay Amazed!
