IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

   A cool, refreshing pool in an unusual place - high atop a building in the
middle of a large city.  Brings to my mind lyrics from an old song from the
1960's, "Hot town, summer in the city...".

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

  This image was created almost completely by hand and from scratch using the 
built-in shapes of Polyray and its CSG functions.  The only exception is
the pots for the potted trees, made from a sweep image created with Alphonso
Hermida's PovCad 4.0.  The words "First Bank" on the bank building are
glyphs created from a TrueType font using the TTFX utility which came with
Polyray.  After rendering the image to a Targa file using Polyray 1.8, I
used Adobe Paintshop LE to add the title and copyright and to convert the
image to JPEG format.  The Polyray source file BSCITY.PI was created and
modified using MS Edit 95.  Some colors and textures in the .INC files have
been added either by me or by other users of Polyray, but I've lost track of
which, if any, new or modified colors or textures were actually used in this
image.
