Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:  

Today's scene is a slice through the entire Z^2+C Julibrot at the point +0.3 on the real(C) axis.  This is in the area of East Valley.  The orientation is impossible to describe but closest to the Julia.

The name "A New Slice" indicates that this particular slice of the Julibrot has never been seen before being revealed in today's image.

I did put extra effort into the coloring, which raises the color aspect of the image to a 7.  The math trick is old, so the math aspect rates only a lowly 3.

The calculation time of 10 seconds is not intended to be exact.  It merely indicates that after this letter is converted into a parameter file, the image is basically instantaneous.

Today was the eighth consecutive day without sunlight here at Fractal Central, making the fractal cats impatient to be able to stretch out on their window shelf and soak up the sunshine.  The fractal humans, who also could use a bit more sunlight, observed the latest so-called terrorist attack in numbed bemusement.

As for the next FOTD, it will be posted before too long.  Until the proper time passes, take care, and why do today's people seem so disconsolate?  Why are they turning to drugs and violence for such meager consolation?  Could it be that they find no meaning in their brief existence.  If this is the case, maybe the solution is to make electronic gadgets so inexpensive that everyone can afford lots of them.  Then they would have no time to think about what awaits them out there in the future.
