FOTD -- February 28, 2008 (No Rating)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

I'm still doing double duty, so the discussion is brief.

Today's scene lies in the East Valley of the large minibrot on 
the main stem of the Z^(2.0000001)+C Mandeloid.  In this fractal 
the main stem is not a single infinitely thin line; it has 
broken into a narrow but infinitely divided band of parallel 
lines with a definite measureable width.  Today's image lies at 
the edge of this band of lines.

Putting almost no effort into the image, I gave it neither name 
nor rating, but it's still unusual enough to be worth a trip to 
the FOTD web site at:

       

where it is or soon will be posted.  Those who choose to run the 
included parameter file will find its 1-1/2 minutes quite fast.

Clouds, chilly winds, flurries of snow and a temperature of 
freezing made Wednesday rather unpleasant here at Fractal 
Central.  The cats agreed, while I was kept busy with double 
work.  The next FOTD will appear close to its appointed time.  
Until then, take care, and the answer will be given.
