; Fractal visionaries:
;
; I've already unloaded my frustration, so let's get to today's fractal.
; I named it "Sinister" because it has a sinister aura about it.  When I
; look at the twisted, tortured shapes and tendrils in this image, I fancy
; myself at the mouth of a dragon's cave on some far away forgotten world.
;
; The scene is part of the Z^3 mandeloid, sliced in a direction almost but
; not exactly in the YZ direction.  The ever-present horizontal bands of
; high-iteration chaos stand out in front of the deep violet alien sky, as
; the very ground twists and swirls and tears itself apart in response to
; unimaginable forces.
;
; Hold it!
;
; I seem to be getting carried away here.  The picture is a bit unusual,
; but it's not *that* unusual.  I'm posting it because it illustrates the
; riches that lie in the virtually unexplored XZ, YZ, XW, and YW planes of
; the Mandeloid family.  Tomorrow, I'll post six different versions of the
; prominent midget on the left stem of the north bud of the Mandelbrot
; set, each version sliced in a different direction.  And then I'll
; forcibly tear myself away from the odd planes and return to fractals in
; the best plane of all -- the XY plane.
;
; For those who wish to view today's sinister image without tying up their
; computers, it has been posted to a.b.p.f. and a.f.p.  And by tomorrow,
; I'll hopefully be out of the low-level funk I've worked myself into.
