IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

The Great Temple of Abu Simbel in Egypt.
Between 1963 and 1968 the whole temple was cut in blocks
and removed to higher ground to escape lake Nasser.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

All the objects are modeled with sPatch (3697 patches) and
converted to height fields with POV. The final objects are
intersections of those height fields.
The girl also were modeled with sPatch (279 patches).
The final scene has been edited in the editor of Povray for
Windows.
With Paint Shop Pro I edited the height fields, made the JPG
conversion and added the name.
