Something wicked something wild

With the heat on and the humidity high, we are experiencing a ... well... heat wave of sorts.

It really isn't as bad as it was last year and certainly it isn't as remarkable as the cold we had last winter.

Since it is too hot during midday to take photos, hike, or work in the garden, I found myself playing with a fractal program called Mandelbulb 3D.

I haven't 'played' with it for a while but have continued to browse other works of art in a group I belong to called Mandelbulb Maniacs on Facebook.  See FB does have its uses.
We can at least share ideas and tutorials.

I call this one *Hard Drive Meltdown*.  The parameters are from Gary Webb, tweaked by other folks and then published on site.
One of the hardest things to do is recall all of the parameters that have been shared, how they've been changed and how many transformations they have been through.

So my theme for the day has been along the 'warm' side of things...Friday Challenge use _Rpow3_4d with another formula.

Both of the above were made with the same beginning parameters but with adjustments to the formulas.

The parameters will be given at the end of this blog for those who wish to play.

Then as I was cooking up our fish from yesterday's outting, I changed a few more settings with the same parameters and came up with this.

Something Wicked:

I keep thinking that the 'thing' in the middle is going to raise 'its' head and look right at me.
This actually is creepy.

And I'd like it in a large metallic print on my wall.
