IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The light from a distant sun enters the big window
and catches the dust particles floating in this room (subtly). Such light
only occurs in the Summertime, of course. A sword is buried in the table
in front of the table. Embedded in the sword is a magic gem which emits
green light, also caught by the atmosphere. The blade of the sword
refracts light.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: This scene was created entirely
with Povray 3 on Dos edit without modellers, paper, rulers,
creativity-enhancing drugs or anything like that. The sword was designed
a number of months ago. The floor and wall textures are from Mike Miller's 
stone textures.
I apologise for this image not being 800x600 but it would have taken too
long to render and I can't leave the computer going constantly.
