IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Whilst out for a drink with friends one night, my friend Wendy commented
on a single party balloon floating high up in the sky.  "It looks lonely," 
she said.  I thought of the current topic and wondered if I dare make a 
submission.  The balloon is all alone, and the deserted fairground amplifies
this feeling.  The fence is quite a stark device and indicates a certain 
trapped feeling that sometimes accompanies loneliness.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The image was generated with standard POV primitives and include files.  The 
flag and tent patterns were hand drawn in ms paint. The balloon is a 2 
component 'blob' with a couple of tori for the knot. This image pushed my 
meagre POV skills to the limit but I have learnt a lot in the process.  
Obviously its not going to win, but I'm happy with it and I'm glad to 
contribute it to the IRTC.
