You can see the sun getting down (it's evening), some clouds, the sea and some sea-gulls. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I had the idea of a beach in the evening for a long time, and then I saw the IRTC, which had the topic 'Nature'. So I thought I could finally make a pic which makes use of this idea. I started with the sea and the sand, tried a long time until I thought it was ok, and then made the plants. After that, I made a sky without clouds, with colors going from yellow finally to blue, and made a box which represented this sky. Then I made a yellow Sphere, which should be the sun, and placed it in front of the yellow point in the box. Then I placed a plane with a cloud-texture behind the sun and in front of the sky. The image looked fine, but there was not enough I thought. So I made a camp-fire, and after a long time this camp-fire made the scene look only half as empty as it was before. But it was not enough, so I made the sea-gulls and the ants, and that was the final image. For me, it is not completed yet, but I have no idea what more to put in which is not _too_ much work, and so I leave it as it is.
