       IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
Imagine a strange picture... You ask to everybody : "look at this picture and tell me just a word, the first one coming to your mind". And everybody replies : "water"...
I have tried to create a picture like that.

       DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
All the components of the picture were written directly on POV3, without any modeller.
I used Photoshop to create two heightfields for the ground.
I used "spline.inc" of Chris Colefax ( great thanks to him !) to create the hose-pipe.
I added a light fog, colored like the sand.
Be indulgent for my jargon and thanks for your votes and comments.
