The first idea that ocurred to me on the current topic (Worlds within
Worlds) was thePOV-Ray depiction of  M. C. Escher's "Hall City". Sure enough
I gave it a shot, starting right away to model the structures on hamaPatch.
Turns out I must admit I'm utterly incompetent to deal with the complexities
of the image, and I'm officially giving it up.

<sigh> (goes back, slouching, to his unsurmountable insignificance...)

Hey, you!
Don't give up that fast! Or, well... At least there is no "unsurmountable
insignificance"
involved. How about thinking of something you can cope with, like... hm...
A hollow box with a sphere inside?

Just kidding. If you're picking difficult things, you need to assure you have
some
time availabe. Though I don't know which exact image you're talking about,
you might want to look at an other one of his. There are several that you could
use, I guess.

Yeah, I guess you're right. It seems to be an awful lot of work to do in two
months, specially with real life getting in the way. Thanks for the pat on
the back.

I already found another approach to the topic more suited to my skills (or
lake thereof...) and available time (or lack thereof).

I tried going to google and searching on "Worlds within Worlds".  The results
amazed me.  Never have I done a search that got so many direct hits on the
search string.

BTW I have a feeling that the topic may have been suggested by me, yet it took
me days to think of something.  Have NO idea what was in my head when I
suggested it.
