IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    Abstract of what an atomic element might look like if you
     could get close enough to get a good look.  I like it because it's 3-D
     and then again it's not.  It's also reminiscent of the universal symbol
     for radiation.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    First I made a ring with rounded
     edges.  I then placed 2 other copies on the other 2 axes.  I then assigned
     an "onion" texture to that object and scaled it down along one axis.  I
     then placed 2 other copies of that compound object on the other 2 axes.
     Voila.... instant "doo dad".  Enjoy.
