This is a zoom of Sept 11's fractal with a different palette. Here a brot, there a brot, everywhere a minibrot! The coloring aims for a veggie mood.

Idle curiousity- how long was the calculation time for the animation (not including set up time)? fract415.gif { ;mandelbrot greenery ; blank ; calctime 0:25:31.21 ; created Sep 12, 2010 ; Fractint Version 2004 Patchlevel 9 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=*.frm formulaname=Mandel_Rings passes=1 center-mag=-0.26201496836067130/+0.66033092518802450/2635.069/1/-29.9999\ 99999993765/-5.44472106289717317e-012 params=0.02/0/2/128 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 outside=summ colors=00m0Kz0p00p00p00o00o00o00n00n00n00m00m00m00l00l00l00k00k00k00j00j\ 00j00i00i00i00h00h00h00g00g00g00f00f00e00e00e00d00d00d00c00c00c00b00b00b\ 00a00a00a00`00`00`00_00_00_00Z00Z00Z00Y00Y00Y00X00X00X00W00W00V00V00V00U\ 00U00U00T00T00T00S00S00S00R00R00R00Q00Q00Q00P00P00P00O00O00O00N00N00N00M\ 00M00M00L00L00K00K00K00J00J00J00I00I00I00H00H00H00G00G00G00F00F00F00E00E\ 00E00D00D00D00C00C00C00B00B00A0ApAApAApAApAApAAoAAoAAoAAoAAoAAnAAnAAnAAn\ AAnAAmAAmAAmAAmAAlAAlAAlAAlAAlAAkAAkAAkAAkAAkAAjAAjA9j99j99j99i99i99i99i\ 99h99h99h99h99h99g99g99g99g99g99f99f99f99f99f99e99e99e99e99d99d99d99d98d\ 88c88c88c88c88c88b88b88b88b88b88a88a88a88a88`88`88`88`88`88_88_88_88_88_\ 88Z88Z88Z88Z87Y70Y00Y00X00X00W00V00V00U00T00T00S00R00R00Q00P00P00O00N00N\ 00M00L00L00K00J00J00I00H00H00G00F00F00E00D00D00C00B00A0 } frm:Mandel_Rings {; Copyright (c) Paul W.
