IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    At first, I wanted to do a harbour city taken in ice and
wanted to call it "A citadel of Atlantis" or something like that... And I put a
newer building to make an archeology scene... and an space craft... Now, its
name is "Estela_a" and I don't really know what it talks about, but I like
colors and lights. If anyone can imagine what can be the story of that... I let
you to imagine the story.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I spent many hours to make everything by csg's under povray.
The island height field image was made by terragen and smoothed in photoshop. It
isn't included in the estelaia.zip.
The space ship and some textures were made under Moray.
I wanted to try the radiosity option and so I had to render it 84 hours... So, I
advise you to don't try it just for fun... :-)
But in the ini file, I made a mistake: I wrote 600 in width instead of 800...
So, if I tried to render it in 800x600, it would take me longer. And so, I
continued to render it, finally a crash occured at 95% of the image. So: i had
an image in 600x570 and i modified it to make an 800x570 image...
