Thank you John.

But really, they are nothing special at all. At the moment I'm just fooling
around with different scenes and settings. The reason they take so long to
render is because of the radiosity function.

Example 1

Rendered with radiosity, render time 14+ hours

Example 2
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10144729/POVRAY/02.png

Rendered without radiosity, render time about 1.5 minutes.

It's a big difference between those images, but not 14 hour difference.
