IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

  'Twas a midsummer's morn at the site, and though the earlier fog had begun to
recede, a pocket seemed to linger, and seemed to actually expand and even glow
from within the site itself.
Unfortunately my camera batteries had been spent, but, to capture this event,
thankfully I had with me my trusty laptop loaded with PovRay.  I quickly
modeled the scene in front of me as accurately as I could.  Here is the scene
as best as I could manage.
Lucky coincidence this month's IRTC topic.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

  The stones and ground are height fields with various textures applied for
interest.  The sky is made of various simple objects with material maps.
