IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    Although the topic was landmark the focus is on the two crew
members on board of the trawler. I did this because I wanted to make a picture
that was more than just showing a landmark.   That is why the right crew member
has a Easter Island head<s>.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    Almost all the modeling was done in
Rhino 3D. The Easter Island heads and the boat are modelled with this app. If
you are interested in how this was done, mail me. I added some Bryce
primitives, like the masts and ropes. The figures were done in Poser3. I
decapitated a normal figure and planted a Easter Island head on the neck.
The name of the boat is projected on the side by a square spotlight with a black
and white pict gel.
The name, by the way, might ring a bell; it is the name of the ship that was
found abandoned on the open sea in 1872. No traces were found of the crew, nor
could be found out why, and how, they had left the ship. This mystery usually
is linked to the Bermuda triangle vanishings, although the Marie Celeste was
found nowhere near it.
The source file is too large to post, even when zipped.
