Fractal visionaries:

Here's a soft and pleasant three-armed fractal fern generated from the power-1000 Mandelbrot figure.  Normally, such a large exponent will give nothing more than a circle, but the extra term in the formula not only turns the figure inside out, it reduces the number of arms to 3, while retaining the delicate fern-like characteristics of the ultra-high order Mandeloids. Like yesterday's fractal, this one also seems nearly impossible to color poorly.
