IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
 Contemplating how time is measured, came up with the hourglass.
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
 I wanted to figure out some of the new features in POV3 so I used
 a surface of revolution to make the hourglass shape.  Some toruses
 were added to the cylinders for the base and top.  Three more sors
 were used for the support handles.  All the textures are from
 standard include files except the sand which was a personal one.
 The sand was created using using a smaller sor, a cone, and a bunch
 of cylinders to fake it falling.  The atmosphere effect is a tweaked
 version of Atmosphere_4 from one of the demo pov files.

 The file was rendered at 1024x768 in around 12 hours and then cropped
 to its current size with the text at the bottom added using Photoshop.
