Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

I'm currently involved in trying to see what can be done with minibrots of the higher orders.  In today's image I have taken a minibrot of unlikely order 11 and mixed it with some Z^2 to produce a picture I have named "Lurid Revelations".  Now don't get worked up, it's not a scene from a cheap racy novel, it's a lurid red fractal featuring a mighty Z^11 minibrot at the center.

As is true with so many of the fractals created by the MultiExp formula, (which I am still working on), the parent fractal is an oversized Mandelbrot set.  Today's scene is located on a filament near the 'star' of the period-5 bud on the northwest shore line of the oversized parent M-set.

The rating of a 7 is the most I could give the image.  The colors are simply too sensationalized for the image to be rated any higher.

But even a sensational scene is worth a look, so why not enjoy the action by running the included parameter file.  When the image is finished, you'll be glad you did.

Today here at Fractal Central dawned with lots of clouds and a mild temperature of 43F +6C.  The clouds cleared away by late morning, leading to a mostly sunny afternoon, but at the same time, a stiff breeze arose from the north, and by afternoon the temperature had dropped to freezing and was continuing to fall.  The backward weather left the fractal cats puzzled.  They spent an unusual amount of time on their sunny shelf, watching the flurries of leaves scurry by.

The humans, who had an uneventful day, passed the time passing the time.  The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and what is the name of the large island just south of Antarctica?
