IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    Sometimes, what seem to be a simple object, is really a very
complex one.  In this case, I have taken the most basic sphere on a checkered
plane and cut away a section.  Hidden inside is a complex world, much like our
own.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    Actually, there rally isn't much
technically to the image itself.  The hardest part was playing with and
adjusting the lighting and the clouds.  I am still very new to ray tracing and
computer-generated art.  I actually only started learning POV-ray about 6 weeks
ago.  I entered this, one of my first scenes, as an example of what one can
accoplish with free software and only the tutorial and help file included with
it.
