IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

A surrealistic image of solar pathfinders over an island. The Solar Pathfinder
is an experimental aircraft designed to stay aloft indefinetly with solar cells
and batteries.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The island is a hight_fieldcreated with PC Paintbrush (sells for about 10$),
and the water consists of two planes: one filtered.  The wing and propeller
shapes were created with POVcad and exported as RAW to POVray 3 for Windows.  I
signed the the corner with Paintbrush after the image was rendered.
