Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Due to a work rush here at FC, today's image is both late and fast, which means I could give it no rating.  Its name is a question -- "What Is It?".  The answer is a Julia set.  The way to see the image is to run the included parameter file and wait 23 seconds.

Things were really cooking here at Fractal Central on Tuesday as the temperature reached 104F 40C.  The fractal cats passed the time stretched on the cool tile floor.  I passed the time working.  The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and be ready for anything.
