Thanks! I was bored and at a loss for inspiration, that's why it looks a bit
crowded and maybe even chaotic.

Ah the joys of raytracing. I had no idea what it was going to look like when
I slapped it in there... a plate with a mouldy lemon... interesting
perspective.

What's a planter? Sorry, but I'm not British / American... guess we call
(whatever it is) something else here.

Its an L-system generated... erm... mess of cylinders. Laurens Lapre's
L-System program (an OLD procedural type image generation app) had this
object in and I thought it looked mildly interesting. I had nothing else I
could think of to put in that empty spot in the scene, so there it is.

Text...? The left blue thing? I didn't place anything next to the right blue
thing. The left one has a stylised image of an eye and some text "the eyes
have it" or somesuch. It comes from a font called 5-goth, letter A.

Thanks for the comments!
