Inspired by the maze discussion  in the
"Tuesday Evening Enigma" thread, I made my own maze.
However, it's not a pigment, but made of objects.

It image took 10 minutes to render on my old P150.

This is just a test of the technique.
I might make a more interesting version sometime.

Greetings,

Rune

Nice idea.
All it needs is a bunch of people wandering aimlessly around...

Thanks!

I think it would make greater impression with just
one person standing lost in the middle of it all...

  If a maze could be written/rendered using spiral-like patterns, we
could show two versions of that lone person who got lost - the first one
showing the person surrounded by what appears to be a vast maze
extending past every edge of the frame, and the second version would
pull back to show that the maze is really a person's thumbprint...

This maze concept keeps getting better.  Not sure I like the hexagon pattern for
the floor though.

But it's not really a maze, now, is it?
One way of generating a maze is to go through the walls in a random
order and knock down it down if there is not already a path from the
room on one side to the room on the other.

  Gosh, thanks, Ken. By the way, I saw a Chevy Blazer last week that was
sporting a little propeller where a trailer hitch might be. The
propeller was spinning when the Blazer got up to highway speed. I was
mighty impressed at this amayonnaising amphibibious vehicle <s>.

Amphibibious ? :)

Maybe the owner thinks that the prop will help achieve Blazing speed on
land as well...

This is a coincidence, I too saw such a thing about a week ago on the I-65
freeway on my way to the Birmingham airport.  Thing is, though, it didn't spin
at a constant high rate like you might expect it would.  Apparently the air
turbulence kept it from attaining the usual 80 mile an hour wind speed of
freeway traffic.  I too also thought of it being potentially amphibious, until I
realized the prop size to vehicle size ratio.

  ;-)
