IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    The scene is a Greco-Roman atrium with a central fountain.
A row of Lombary poplars lines the north wall;  the east gate opens to a
beach.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    I used POV-Ray 3.1 and its text
editor.  In general, each object was build separately, fined tuned, and then
added to the scene.  I am particularly pleased with the water cascading from
the fountain.  

        The tree generator include file, "tomtrees.inc" was written (I believe)
by Tom Aust.  His routine can be found via the graphics links from the POV-Ray
website.
