Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image lies in the same parent fractal as yesterday's, and like yesterday's it rates an 8.

The scene is located in the Seahorse Valley area of the oversized Mandelbrot outline that makes up the parent fractal.

The color palette is virtually the same as yesterday's, with a few minor tweakings because of the different magnitude.

The name "A Ride to Daybreak" might mean something, but if it does, I doubt that it has any connection to the image.

The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes will pass in a flash.  Those who dislike flashes may avoid them by checking the web sites.

A mix of sun and clouds, and a temperature of 73F 23C, made today quite acceptable here at Fractal Central.  The fractal cats rated the day an 8, then asked for more tuna.

The humans made it through the day without incident.  It's a pleasant way to pass a day, but very uninteresting to read about.  If we're lucky here at FC, tomorrow will be the same.

The next FOTD fractal will appear before too much time elapses.  Until that impressive moment arrives, take care, and to cure the country's problems we need austerity.  It's too bad that being austere is so unpopular.
