Very nice!
After all these changes on the Earth, I'm expecting to see some insects.

This is the final version. Assuming that all mega-fauna, i.e. larger
than a dog, has gone extinct.

Indeed. Scenes often have a background (other than /background/) ;-)

They certainly are there. A bit too tiny to be seen though, except if
you think of huge buzzing swarms of them of course.

hi,

an evocative image. I like the added details on the structure. which leads me
to ask: just how big would such details need to be to be visible from Earth?
also, can you provide the approximate dimensions please (a la Niven :-))

those birds look like fairly large (circling) vultures. ;-)

For the sake of the image, the details are huge, but so is the structure
itself of course. As far as dimensions are concerned,I let you make the
calculations:
The structure's basic size (in POV units) dx,dy,dz = <22.237729,
2.253802, 22.237729> is scaled 10e4 in this scene.

Eagles, sir, eagles! But yes, they are large indeed. I was mainly
referring to the earth-bound species...

Have you ever seen Future Boy Conan (The incredible tide)? Little bugs,
suddenly and in a huge quantity...

This truly is the final version of the scene. Only subtle changes to the
aspect of the Ring Structure.

Basing on your writings, the book might like you. I know that reprints
have been made, but there are still some old versions on the web (e.g.
http://www.highharbor.net/doc/tide.pdf).
I personally loved the anime version of Miyazaki, but it depends on
personal tastes.
