IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

 
"The seismic forecast had not been good - 85% probability of bottom dropout
from the midatlantic ridge meant it was the wrong day for sailing beyond the
beacon line - but he had made the mail boat tour to the Kroozle rocks for over
twenty years now, 
every day. 
This day, however, was different; where had all the seagulls...? What!? FULL
STEAM AHEAD! LARBOARD RUDDER!"

This is basically a tilted version of an older picture of mine - 
the ocean and the boat are tilted, that is, everything else is left upright. 
Also, more spray was added.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


The sea is an isosurface, shaped with a 2-dim granite function, tilted for the
large wave effect.
The white spray and stack smoke are spherical isosurfaces with noise3d
functions.
The rocks are julia fractals. 
The beacons and boat are all CSG.
The sky is a standard one from skies.inc
