IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Big Ben is in London, England, I think.  But anyways this is a close up of the
famous clock/tower/great big giant thing.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

This is not what I thought this picture would look like, trust me, but I ran
completely out of time, I didn't even start this until the beginning of August
because my original idea was Osaka Castle in Japan, which didn't turn out too
well (note: I might continue this project and put the picture on my site, but
right now with the hardware I have, it just isn't possible).  But back to this
one, it's completely Pov-Ray CSG.  No texture maps, the only image map is in
the center of the clock, it's a mosaic of absolutely nothing, the only way I
could find to make it look the way it was supposed to. But it should have been
better, I'll admit that.  The sky looks pretty cool though, eh?  Well, maybe
next round.
