Thanks. Ask me to model a pen or a lamp or something real, and I wouldn't be
interested,
but abstract stuff really inspires me.

No, I think Ken was right, suggesting adding an object/objects that the observer can
relate to. I was thinking myself of adding a roadway leading into the picture with
tiny
streetlamps along it and maybe a tiny vehicle or too.

Thanks..I like it too. It just emerged from experimentation, but it really is
extremely
easy. Just the following object scaled, rotated and translated a number of times.

#declare Single_Curve=
union {
#declare r=0.01;
#declare A=10; // number of rods
#declare Count=0; #while (Count<=A)
#declare Horiz=Count; #declare Vert=A-Count;
cylinder {<Horiz/A,0,0>,<0,Vert/A,0>,r  }
#declare Count=Count+1; #end
}

We used to make these at junior school, wrapping string around nails in a block of
wood...all the straight lines give a curved effect.

all the best,
