IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

  I first started thinking along the lines of Dali and his Persistance of
Time.  Then I started thinking of various timepieces like sundials, hour
glasses, watches, and clocks.  I havent seen too many hour glasses and
so decided to render one of those.  I felt as though this would
show off povray really well with refraction and reflection.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

  Most of the work was done with Moray.  The glass is a solid sweep.  With
a tweaked glass texture.  The sky is just a 2 layer texture.  The first
is a bozo texture with white at the center and transparent at the edges.
Then a simple solid blue texture under that.  This texture is
mapped on a plane.
  As an aside,  I had OS/2 on my machine (which I love... but sadly do
development at work for win95) and so installed that OS on my machine.
I had thought I had removed all my rendering stuff (the .pov files anyway
I can get povray again) but appearently not.
