IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Well.. I've spend my last holidays in Alaska. It's a very very big country (an
amazing country too..), with few inhabitants. Even now, a lot of people stay
alone in the bush, looking for game, or fishing, with nobody all around. To
create this image, I've thought at somebody, living in a logcabin, in the
middle of the birchs, at the foot of high mountains, cutting wood to put in the
stove... silent and alone, during the begining of autumn.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

All the shapes are made with only POV 3.1 ; All of them are very simple shapes
(cylinders, boxes, prisms, quartic) : the cabin, the axe, the logs, the
mushrooms.. some height fields, too (HfLab)
For the trees : the big one came from the well known MakeTree (by Gilles Tran),
I have changed the colors of the leaves (autumn colors..) and the others from
an include written by Jean-Laurent Pradel, modified to get the shape and the
colors I wanted. Thanks to Fabien Mosen for the smoke ! 
I have tried to mix all this to create a picture evoking an alaskan loneliness.
