RENDERER USED:  POV-Ray 3.1 and the text editor
TOOLS USED:  Include file for defining trees by Tom Aust (tomtree.inc)
RENDER TIME:  Approximately 40 minutes
HARDWARE USED:  Pentium II 300 MHz
IMAGE DESCRIPTION:  The scene is a Greco-Roman atrium with a central fountain.  A row of Lombary poplars lines the north wall;  the east gate opens to a beach.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:  I used POV-Ray 3.1 and its text editor.  In general, each object was build separately, fined tuned, and then added to the scene.  I am particularly pleased with the water cascading from the fountain.  

	The tree generator include file, "tomtrees.inc" was written (I believe) by Tom Aust.  His routine can be found via the graphics links from the POV-Ray website.
