Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

There was no FOTD for May 19.  The reason is that FL and I went on an antiquing expedition down to York, PA, where we found little of interest.  We reaped no benefits and were totally exhausted when we returned, which gave a good excuse for taking it easy the rest of the evening.

Today's image takes us back again to the parent fractal of the May 6 image.  This time we examine the western edge of the large debris field on the west side of the main bay.  We went quite deep, to a magnitude of over 7*(10^12), before we found today's scene, which at least in my opinion rates an 8.

The name "Land of Laughter" has nothing to do with a good time, since the image uses much the same dark gloomy color palette as the image of May 18.  The name is what came to mind when I turned off my thinking apparatus and let instinct take its course.

The calculation time of 1-5/6 minutes is reasonable if not fireball fast.  The fireball fast view is available on the FOTD web sites.

With total sunshine and a temperature of 86F 30C, today was one of the all-time best here at Fractal Central.  The fractal cats showed their approval by stretching out on the carpet.  The humans just took it easy.  The next FOTD will be posted when it gets posted, most likely in a day or so.  Until then, take care, and they say on the scare shows that the world will end in 5-billion years.  What a relief.  I thought it was 5-million years.
