IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

 in all my works I always use our magic tools not to reproduce the reality, but
to give to my dreams the apparence of the reality : I try to be a
dreamcatcher...
this time, I tried to catch an architectural dream of a great dreamer : Piran_se
(1720-1778):
carceri invenzione - planche 6b (http://piranesi.free.fr/carc6b.JPG).


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

everything was hand coded directly in POV .
Big deal to find the good way to respect the perspective (long focus and long
distance beetwen camera and subject)
atmospheric effects to make the background clear.
