IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I've always thought museums were scary at night, especially when
		the dinosaurs cast long shadows.
	Modeled after the Bitish Natural History Museum in London, but with 
	differences. 

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
	First up, I imported a Poser figure that was reminiscent of the one actually on display in the Dinosaur wing ( Although I have never been there and only had grainy pictures)
	and set it up as the statue in the background. I called it Colossus because it looks like the one in John Gardiners picture from a few competitions ago.
	Also, I used a downloaded Brontosaur from Cyberdata on the 3dCafe website.
	That having been said, I did everything else "out of box" in POV Ray with only a picture of the 
	museum in hand.
	Everything is straight lines and angles and boxes and csg's. The hardest part was the lighting
	 and getting all of the shadws to do what I wanted. Also the big glass windows in the back forced me to create a room beyond what is seen.
	A lot of fun to do as this was my first foray into large scale architecture.
