IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


 Lost in a POV dream.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

 
  I didn't have any idea what to do for this round. Way back when
 I first started to think about entering IRTC 'RUINS'
 was one of the topics I though about doing. But I could never settle
 on an idea. It seems the more things change the more they stay the
 same. I almost didn't enter this time. Then I was thinking of all that 
 I've done in POV over the years and my work habbits. I usually come 
 up with an idea, test it out, play with it and finally  go on to something 
 else. Hey! Just like a daydream. So I went back and looked through all
 my stuff and so started a scene putting things I found in it. Some of the
 objects I had use for other contest, some I even had forgotten about. I
couldn't
 put everthing I've done before in it. But it does have a sampling of things 
 I've made over the years. The WET PAINT was the first thing I did and 
 the Chess set was the last object I made.

Epilogue:
     Sorry no zip file this time. But all those files are scattered everwhere.
  I had fun going through all my old files. I also learned something about 
 ground fog,  you can use negative numbers to tone layer fogs down a bit.
