IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    The four bottles have all the ingredients of a storm, from
left to right they are Rain, Wind & Clouds, Lightning, Thunder.  
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE IMAGE WAS CREATED: First I have to thank my buddy Tim for
coming up with how to create lightning.  A mighty fine trick it is.  The stones
are blobs.  The Corks are open ended cone and the Bottles are rotational sweeps
(another Tim trick).  The Thunder "all shook up" effect is created using 5
bottles with 100 0.000000ilter and just slightly offset from each other.  The idea is
that the Thunder is causing the bottle to shake.
