IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    A Magical and mystical orb somewhere on an alien planet.
                    I have worked on a idea like this before, I even have a
picture
             a little like this one that was made back in the days of POV-Ray
2.0



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


        It started with just the orb..., then the neat little stand that is it
on.
        I added some water, some steps around it, and the rest is history.
        This whole picture is made of only spheres, touri(is that right?),
cylinders and boxes,
        one heightfield, and a halo..  Nothing extremely hard, it just looks
good.
        I experimented with atmosphere and focal blur, and finally got the
numbers that
        were on the finished product.
