IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The Atlantians flee as their beloved homeland goes
                    up (down?) in volcanic splendor. 

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
     Lava induced ocean steam and volcanic cloud ... halo.
     Foreground peninsula ... height_field using Gforge.
     Background volcano ... paper thin "cardboard prop" from quick
          draw of a volcano in PSP.
     Hot Air Balloons & Ships ... mesh objects from stock.
     Sky ... straight out of sky.inc.
     Temple ... a whole lot of CSGing.
      
      That shadow on the ocean was not planned ... it's coming from the
     halo container for the volcano cloud and I couldn't figure out
     any way to get rid of it.
