Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image is a slightly deep scene in the East Valley of a minor minibrot lying in one of the side star-arms of a small period-16 bud on the northwest shore line of the main bay of the Mandelbrot set.

Words fail to describe the fractal, which can be truly enjoyed only by the sense of vision.  The colors were intensified in a sepatate color manipulation program.  Then the intensified colors were recorded in the included parameter file. It works just fine.

The result rated a 7.  If I had been in a more pleasant mood, I might have rated the image an 8.  The name "Extemporaneously-1" is a spur-of-the-moment thing, with no deep hidden meaning.

Unfortunately, the image lies deep enough to make arbitrary-precision math necessary, which increases the calculation time to a rather dragging 17-plus minutes.

A much speedier way to view the image is to enjoy it in finished form on the currently active FOTD web site at:

Sleet and freezing rain with a temperature of 30F -1C made Saturday a most unpleasant day here at Fractal Central.  The fractal cats lost no time taking to their shelf by the heat and spending most of the day there, stretched out in total cat comfort.

My day was occupied with trying to keep the fractal pavement free of ice -- a losing effort.  I'll tackle the job again when the precipitation ends.  FL kept the coffee hot.  The next FOTD will likely be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and those who are really running things, please stand up.
