Fractal of the Day

FOTD -- April 23, 2009 (Rating 5)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
I named today's image "Natural Reality" because no one seems able to agree on exactly what 'reality' is, and at the same time it's nearly as hard to decide what a fractal is.
The parent fractal was created by mixing 1 part of Z^(1.5) with 1/2 part of Z^(3) and adding C. This parent consists of two Mandeloids lying north and south of the origin, with a broad band connecting them. This broad band has a kind of East Valley on its east side, and today's image is located very near the X-axis, slightly inland of the valley.
The image has nothing special about it. What you see is what you get, nothing more, nothing less.
After careful study I rated the scene at an adequate 5. The calculation time of 5 minutes is bearable, but downloading the finished image from the FOTD web site at:will make it more bearable.
Heavy clouds, blustery winds, occasional sprinkles and a temperature of 55F 23C made Wednesday unpleasant for the fractal cats of Fractal Central. For me, both the day and FOTD fractal were average. The next FOTD fractal will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care and where is science leading us?
