IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


The desert wasteland that was once called Kansas. Whatever form the creator of
this devastation showed (pick your catastrophy) it knew it would be thourough. 
Well, we all "knew" that the world was flat!  A break in the cloud cover shines
nourishing light on a lonley plant, probabley a weed,  as it begins the
seemingingly impossible task of bringing life to a dead planet...just like
before.

   



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


This Image was modelled entirely in sPatch. 

The wheelbarrow consists of 7 objects onto which textures and pigments were
applied.  The sand is a wave pattern.  The sky is two planes one with
transparency and a high altitude fog layer.
