IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

The images shows a clock standing on a shelf.
The the picture on the clock is a raytracing itself: A isle
in the middle of the ocean.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

First I did the scene of the isle. The isle is a height_field, 
and the water surrounding it is a bump_map based on the outline of the
mountain.
This image was rendered first, and the mapped on the clock using a image_map.
The shelf on wich the clock stands is a superellipsoid with a wood texture.
In the background there is the same water and the same sky than I used in
the image of the isle.
Watch out expecially for the atmospheric effect besides the clock.
