Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:  

Today's scene, which lies just beyond the range of perfect resolution, is named "Another First".  The reason for the name is that the central minibrot is the first one I have stumbled upon that is so obviously divided into two separate parts.

The formula that created today's Mandeloid image is Z^(1.09)+C.  I calculated this formula a mere 0.75 levels up the hyperspiral, which created a parent shaped like a bullet or torpedo diving to the southeast.  This bullet shape is quite common in Mandeloids with an exponent of Z only a small amount greater than unity.

Today's scene lies in a large field of debris near the northwest limit of its parent.  The image rates a 7 for its artistic value and an 8 for its math value.  The calculation time of over 8 minutes is mercilessly slow, making a visit to the web sites the better choice.

The temperature of 77F 25C here at Fractal Central today was near perfect, but too many clouds filled the sky to call the day absolutely perfect.  The fractal cats agreed.  Eleven-year-old all-black Nicholas watched curiously as one-year-old Jasmine and 4-month-old Lida chased each other up and down the fractal hallway until both ran out of steam and collapsed into exhausted heaps.  The fractal humans, who must keep going even when the steam runs out, had a near normal but busy day.

The next FOTD will be posted whenever it is.  (Yes, there will be more FOTD's.  The current slowdown is due to renovations here at FC.)  Until that cosmic moment of renewal arrives, take care, and keep abreast of the anachronistic FOTD.  It's a real blast from the past!
