IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    This image should show a sandy beach with a camp-fire,
                   some plants and some ants. You can see the sun getting
                   down (it's evening), some clouds, the sea and some
                   sea-gulls.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

  I had the idea of a beach in the evening for a long time, and then I saw
the IRTC, which had the topic 'Nature'. So I thought I could finally make a
pic which makes use of this idea. I started with the sea and the sand, tried
a long time until I thought it was ok, and then made the plants. After that,
I made a sky without clouds, with colors going from yellow finally to blue,
and made a box which represented this sky. Then I made a yellow Sphere, which
should be the sun, and placed it in front of the yellow point in the box.
Then I placed a plane with a cloud-texture behind the sun and in front of the
sky. The image looked fine, but there was not enough I thought. So I made a
camp-fire, and after a long time this camp-fire made the scene look only half
as empty as it was before. But it was not enough, so I made the sea-gulls and
the ants, and that was the final image. For me, it is not completed yet, but
I have no idea what more to put in which is not _too_ much work, and so I
leave it as it is.
