IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


This image is called, "Let's swim to the moon".  Its inspiration
is the Doors song "Moonlight Drive".  The opening verse goes
something like...

"Let's swim to the moon,
Let's climb through the tide,
Penetrate the evening,
That the city sleeps to hide."


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


I used Poser to create the swimmer, and lsttm.cpp to create the 
height fields.  Lsttm2.cpp generated the initial pov file,
lights, and debugging textures.  

Note:  if you change the camera normal to just, normal{bumps 1}, 
the result is spectacular!
