Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:  

Today's image was created when I subtracted Z^(3.5) from Z^(2.5) and added straight C on each iteration to produce a parent fractal that appears as a distorted Mandeloid rotated 180 degrees, with two large lumps on its East Valley side, which in today's image is on the west side of the main bay.  The image itself is located in the area of the southern lump.

The overly textured effect was created by rendering the scene with the outside set to 'tdis'.  These textures inspired the name "Timely textures".

The art rates a 7, mostly due to the brilliancy of the greens.  The math comes in at a 5.  We have been here quite often before.

The calculation time of 2-1/4 minutes is within reason.  The FOTD web sites can make things even more reasonable.

After a dark and stormy night, today began cloudy and dreary here at Fractal Central.  But by midday the clouds cleared away, leading to a sunny afternoon with a temperature of 70F 26C, which made both the fractal cats and humans happy.

The next FOTD will be posted soon.  Until soon arrives, take care, and to have a true peace on earth, we must get rid of the bad guys who are causing the trouble.  The problem is how to get everyone on earth to agree on the identity of the bad guys.
