Sorry about that. I was trying to avoid Microsoft altogether. But it seems
it's just easier to compromise. (If anyone can recommend a good newsviewer
that ISN'T called Outlook, I'd be more than happy to try it.)

Although I haven't seen much in the way of dragon-curves in the newsgroups,
I somehow feel that this is a sort of "initiation" into the PoV cult. (Much
like the infamous chessboard.)

This scene has four dragon-curves eminating from the crossroads. These
curves never meet (according to William G. Harter, as I found in an article
by Martin Gardner). The result is intersected with the landscape hightfield.

Thanks goes to Gilles Tran for the tree macro, and Michael Hough for the
cloud tutorial.

The quote is from Jack Kerouac's "On the Road."

Viewing Suggestion: Pat Metheny's "Travels."

I realise that in order to sustain an art medium inside one's self, there
must be some form of communication of that art. An object does not exist if
there is no-one to observe it (a tree falling in an empty forest, for
example). Likewise, I felt if I wasn't getting "out there," my work really
is more than invisible - it doesn't exist. So here I am!

More images at my vastly improved website.
