Phew! After 146 hours of rendering, knot world is finally finished. My iBook
ran out of memory halfway through, but luckily I could turn off some stuff
and restart it with +C so it ended up OK.

For the knotted-loop connoisseur:
Foreground - granny knot.
Middle distance - figure-eight knot.
Far distance (bottom right) - trefoil knot.

Yes, that's a giant figure-eight knot in the hazy sky, and yes, that's Aiko3
on the balcony in the foreground, wearing next to nothing as per usual.

1600x1200 version here:

(Incidentally, http://www.infradead.org/~wmp/ has almost everything I've
ever rendered on it somewhere, so have a look.)

I'd love to have followed some of the suggestions offered for this work from
previous posts, but it would simply have been too complicated in many cases!
Comment and critique welcomed, as always.

enjoy
Bill
