Fractal visionaries:

This afternoon I investigated the strange little midget that was hidden at the center of yesterday's FOTD.   I found a chupacabra, but as Jay Hill found it first, I decided to post another of my images.

Today's fractal is named "Flinders", because that's the word that came to mind when I saw the floating, semi-organized fragments that comprise the image.

Although the formula draws slices of the XY-ZW Julibrot double rotation, today's fractal is a pure Julia plane image of the (-Z)^1.25 mandeloid.   As I have said on previous occasions, iterating (-Z) instead of Z works wonders with the very low order mandeloids.   Using this method, I have found interesting detail in mandeloids with an exponent as low as 1.007

Tomorrow, I'll present one of these ultra-low exponent fractals.   But for now, I'll post the finished image to the usual Usenet groups, alt.binaries.pictures.fractals and alt.fractals.pictures . . . and the image of course will be available at:
http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html

So until then, enjoyable fractal adventures.
