DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
  I am a admirer of POV-Ray 3, but cannot say I am an expert (it shows
in the source code I guess). Anyway, I wanted to give a dynamic element
to the water, so I did the following:
  * I wrote a Pascal program which simulates the trajectory of the
water drops, with wind, and certain randomness in speed. This program
generates a .BMP like a photo taken with an electronic flash - static.
  * Then I uses PSP to add motion blur (GIFs included)
  * This was imported in POV.
