Fractal visionaries:

I'm a bit late this evening because I've had my machine tied up reconstructing the first few of those several hundred lost fractals.  And I'm still a bit irritated that they were lost in the first place.  But the good side is that when I restore and recolor them, I'll make them better than ever.

Today's fractal is another one in honor of the big July 4th holiday here in the USA.  Like yesterday's it reminds me of fireworks, so I named it "Firewrk2".  The fractal is actually the star at the head of a cycle-7 radical sliced in the XW direction.  As is apparent, these stars become quite complex when observed from an unfamiliar direction.

The finished image is posted to a.b.p.f. and a.f.p. for convenience.  Tomorrow and the day after I'll stay with the fireworks theme -- and then -- who knows.
