IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


The idea comes from the news of a couple weeks ago about the famous Rudas
Turkish bath (hamam) in Budapest opening to Hungarian women. In the article a
beautiful photo of the bath was displayed, with two light beams shining on the
water from the apertures on the roof.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


As usual the whole structure is made using CSG. The holes in the dome are
positioned along a spiral curve and above them I placed a white board to give
the impression of the sun outside. The light beams are made with a spotlight
above the dome (the only light source interacting with the media).
