IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A snowglobe stands alone in a corner of a room.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The snowflakes were done using a series of randomly placed spheres. The
snowman was made using Winblob. The bricks were also made with blobs,
following the example of Jaime Vives. The heightfield which is used to
make the ground in the snowglobe was made using HF-Lab. The rest was made
using simple CSG. Nothing really too complicated here.
Lview was used for a simple gamma-correction, to sign the image and to
then convert it to JPEG.
