IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

The game of kings, chess, as one of the oldest games, is a quite game, with high
concentration levels. Two gentleman wanted to play the game. But they wanted to
play it alone, separated from everything else. So they build a small garden,
with high walls around it. They played hours and hours, weeks and weeks, months
and months. The trees grew. But now they can't play any longer, the grass gets
higher and higher, the trees grow and grow. What could have happenend?

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I made the chess figures with Moray. The trees are made with povtree, the grass
with mgrass, the walls, seats and the table  are build with a script called
mur.inc. I found the butterfly somewhere on the net. Everything was placed
diretly in povray.

Unfortunately I didn't have the time to render a bigger image. Rendering of the
sent image already took more than 48 hours. A higher resolution would render
even longer... So the butterfly can't be seen well...
