After seeing the city entry I got so depressed I don't think I will be
making any attempt at competing... :)

  Anyways, here's a lame attempt I was playing with. I will not send this
one because it's so simple, so I'll just post it here and give my
congratulations to the first who figures out how it is done (in 256 bytes).
Extra bonus to anyone who posts a code creating a similar image (as
similar as possible, of course). :)

Looks like a mandelbrot viewed in a mirror, or something...
Though I can't figure out that blur effect. Very cool.

I can't imitate it, but by coincdedence another idea I was working on looks
kinda similar:
sky_sphere{pigment{average pigment_map{[1 agate scale 3][-.4
granite]}}}sphere{z*9,1 finish{reflection{,1}}normal{granite}}

You may be right. Probably it was a bad move to publish a preview of
the SCC in this group.

Heh, yeah, but you guys are lucky -- I already got mine in before Tek blew
my mind :-)

Interesting. Hard to focus on...and the center seems to move a bit.

i think this is because he used red and blue. the human eye has problems 
focusing on both at the same time for some reasing i cannot quite remember.

Dispersion. Red and blue are at opposite ends of the spectrum, and are 
refracted by fairly different amounts, so you can only have one in sharp 
focus at a time. In this case, a lot of it seems to be my eyes trying to 
focus on something that really is blurred. It might just be me, my 
natural vision is pretty bad and I wear contacts.

I think this could be a great entry. I'm guessing you did it something like
this:

#include "functions.inc"

plane
{
 z, 1

 pigment
 {
  mandel 1000
  interior 1, 1
  translate <-0.4021, 0.2, 0>
  scale 100
 }

 finish
 {
  ambient 1
 }
}

Whoops, I didn't need the functions.inc!
Here is one at 96 chars:

plane{z,1 pigment{mandel 1000 interior 1,1 translate<-0.4021,0.2,0>scale
100}finish{ambient 1}}

Here's another fun way to use mandel:

#declare f=function{pigment{mandel 1000 interior 1,1 translate -0.17
color_map{[0 rgb 0][1 rgb 1]}scale 2}}light_source{0.2*y rgb
1}height_field{function 999,999{f(x,y,z).gray*0.1}pigment{rgb
1}translate -0.5}camera{rotate 45*x translate -0.7*z}

246 bytes :-)
