=======================================================

This is my first entry into the INTERNET RAY-TRACING COMPETITION.

I starting RAY-TRACING less than a year ago, the only package
I have used so far is POV-RAY and I think it's spectacular.

I started work on this image less than 2 weeks ago, the first
image I started to do for this contest was a Gazebo, but it 
wasn't working out, so I decided I would do a city-scene, then
my girlfriend suggested that I do the CN-Tower, and that I 
put the Windows 95 flag on it.

For those of you who aren't from the Toronto area, when Microsoft
launched Windows 95, they hung a 500' banner (just like the one in
the image) from the CN-Tower (which is 1815' high) , and it caused
quite a bit of controversy, it could be seen by everyone as they drove
into the city.

Anyways, I thought it would be a cool thing to ray-trace...  For
any people out there who aren't too fond of Microsoft, you can always
comment the flag out, or use a different .GIF as the image-map on 
the flag :)

If you like this image, you can see a small sampling of other
images I've done on my homepage

PS - One interesting thing about the image - There is no ground! :)
ie - If you re-position the camera above the tower, looking down, 
The tower will look like it's floating in the sky, but hey, isn't that
the magic thing about ray-tracing?
