IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

At first camera was high position, but it changed because 
low position has hopes. High position's image seems to be 
so desolate.
Both of their position are not real. They are imagined 
scenery, therefore your interpretation of the image is 
free. For example, my interpretation of Center object and 
floor, they are ice...I find to my surprise that ice cube 
is rusted by sunshine, because low camera position's far 
sun is near.
Thank you for the Sun, the Earth, and People.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The gradient and fog were continuing process of trial and 
error.
The fog's fog_offset, distance, and turbulence are 
delicate. The results from minus number (fog_ofset and 
distance) is very interesting. The point of image were 
turbulence's ratio, combination of fogs, and their rotate.
When it is rendering options'  1280x1024, AA0.3 , floor's 
texture is interesting.
