Sorry about the lack of activity but a bout of severe 'flu and last minute
Y2K preparations kept me a little busy recently. (I know I'm ill when I
don't even want to turn the computer on.) I'm still trying to catch up on
the posts here.

Changed the vans and the lighting on the bridge (I've been playing POV all
these years and I still hadn't grasped how to use the spotlight )-: The blue
sky has gone black (hence the change of lighting on the bridge).

I really like the look of this.  I think that blue flame should probably be
casting more light where the shadow under the vehicle is.

I'm getting freaked out now with all this talk of flu and illness.  You're
yet another person I heard say such a thing and was just reading an article
in the local newspaper about a flu epidemic in the area.  Someone else in
Ohio said it was called such there as well.  All in all about a dozen people
in just two days have said they were sick.

Should I take some medicine now or later?   8@  Opening wide and saying
"Aaaaaaa".

Very nice. Have you considered using a little focal blur? 8)

The flu is running rampant throughout the US right now. If you haven't already,
you should contact your doctor and get the flu shot. From the reports I've seen,
those who are ending up in the hospital seem to be those who did not bother to
get the flu shot.

Never had a flu shot in my adult life.  I haven't seen a doctor since a car
accident in 1988.  I'll just vomit my guts out if and when I ever get ill.
Sorry, I thought that was funny until after I said it.

Oh-oh, the Alien Being is feeling bad though.  Ick!

I, for one, must agree with you.  When it's time to get sick, you just get
sick and get it over with.

Good pic.

Wow...incredible.  The contrast between the red fog and the black of space
is a bit too sudden...otherwise fantastic!
