IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
  This picture is for all the children who haven't seen anything else, and
haven't had any other kind of garden than such a backyard.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
  I first placed everything using simple shapes (mostly cubes and a few
cylinders), then I created an include file for each object in the picture. Each
include file can be rendered on its own to work on the details of each object
independently before inclusion in the final pic.
  I would like to thank SamuelT for his peeling paint texture which opened new
horizons to me in the use of normals (his texture itself isn't used here since
it requires the superpatch, but the first thing I did with it was to adapt it to
standard pov, and that one is here), I also want to thank TonyB whose clouds
provided a great starting point, and Gilles Tran for his window macro. And of
course Nathan Kopp for giving us such a great patched version of pov.
