IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


Hell's Gate 
    
"... You move slowly towards the light, a sense of awareness builds within you
and you
find your body drifting forward.  The light grows more intense and you begin to
see
details around you.  You feel heat, hotter than holding your hand over the
barbeque
grill with hot searing coals.  HOT Heat... then you see it and the realization
sinks
in.  You are entering HELL.  The portal lies just in front of you.  The victim
in front
of you enters the gate and in a vaporizing flash of energy, his flesh is ripped
from his
body, leaving his soul exposed, engulfed in flames.  Beyond him you see the
searing globes
of others extending off into the vaste distances their souls in flames the heat
reaching 
you even at the distance you are from them.  In a moment you will experience
what you
can only anticipate as "Indescribable pain".  Part of you doesn't want to enter,
part of
you knows that it is inevitable and it will last... "forever"...."

The image is entirely composed of POV Primatives.  Other than the conversion to
a JPEG file,
there is no post processing of the image of any sort.  The copyright is part of
the original 
render... you might notice some of the texture of the electric blue overlapping
it in places.

The globes floating in the background contain small figures... how many can you
see?
