IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Rocket Garden, a collection of rockets from the US space program.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

After someone mentioned on the IRTC General newsgroup that "Odds on there will
be a gardens of spaceships and pyramids", I decided that I *had* to do that as
my entry.

However, since I have been busy working on my entry for the Animations
competition, I didn't have the time to do the detailed modeling needed for a
rendering of Rocket Garden.

My solution was to use a photograph of the Rocket Garden that I had on my
computer, map it onto a plane, and render it using an orthographic camera.

For anyone that is interested, yes this is allowed under the IRTC rules.  No, I
do not expect to get high technical merit scores for this.
