IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    It is early evening in the desert, a full moon is coming up
over the
mountains, and part of the final remains of an unfortunate traveler are just
showing.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Most of the image was done in Pov-Ray, except for the skeletal hand remains,
which was done in 
sPatch.  The image used for the height fields was actually a picture of an
iceberg.  I find 
doing height fields from photographs can result in interesting effects.  Not the
most
exciting image, but fun to do.
