IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


The Heavens Weep. One tear falls into a great watery expanse.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


The only interesting thing about this image is how I created the water surface.
It's basically a sin(r)/r function around the origin created with POVRay loops
and blobs. It's interesting how different the image looks with differing values
for the water's IOR, reflectivity, and ambience...

The moorIco.inc file is one I created a year or two back for doing Icosahedra
based upon principles from Islamic art. See my entry "The Wizard's Bannishment"
from some time in '97 for more information on that.
