IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

A crystal ball, on a table, amongst a variety of other mysterious objects.
The crystal ball forsees a castle, surrounded in a fog of intrigue.
By the way, this crystal ball actually creates a solid object in the glass 
sphere.
That explains the look of the castle  so no comments saying it looks 'too 
solid', OK? 

What is this enigma of the castle? What does it all mean?
Well, that's why it's a mystery.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

*I combined boolean objects and added textures using Bryce 3D to make the 
ball
*Other objects were created separately in a similar fashion
*I re-arranged the objects until they fitted well
*The landscape was created - the mountains, rocks, and water
*Cloud and atmosphere features were changed to finish the scene
