Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:  

Today's image comes from the same parent fractal as yesterday's, but today's image is located along the northern shore line of the northwestern clover leaf, which is a totally different area of the parent.

I named the image "Scalloped Elements".  I originally intended to name it 'Scalloped Elephants' but the scene lies nowhere near any kind of East Valley and I could find no elephants, either proto or fully developed, in it.

The art and math both rate a 6, which is just far enough above average to make the image worth a look.  The calculation time of 2-1/4 minutes will make running the parameter file only a small expenditure of time.  And the web sites can save most of this time.

The mix of sun and clouds with a temperature of 59F 15C was close to normal for middle to late October here at Fractal Central.  The fractal cats and fractal humans had too many other tasks to finish to be concerned with the weather.

The next FOTD will be posted in a matter of a day or two.  Until whenever, take care, and live life to the fullest.  After all, we only go around a few thousand times.
