I've been fascinated by POV-Ray for many years, but I have to confess 
that I haven't really done much with it and still consider myself pretty 
much of a novice.  I'm very much a lurker in these NGs, but do post a 
comment now and then -- however I've only posted an image once (quite 
some time ago).

But I recently started playing with an image that initially merely 
started as an attempt at writing a macro to create rounded boxes (I 
know, reinventing the wheel and all that...  but interesting to do). 
When the macro was done I started putting a scene around it -- nothing 
real and it's semi-abstract.  I am fairly pleased with the result (and 
am currently using it as my wallpaper) because the source is so simple 
-- only standard includes and simple primitives.  So I thought it was 
about time I finally posted something here...    :-)

It has an appealing simplicity, Larry, that I like very much.
The only thing that troubles me a bit is the banded texture on the 
height_field that I find too regular. Some turbulence would be interesting.

I gave it some turbulence, but obviously not enough.  Thanx for the comment.

I like that erie look it's got, like days when the sky is dark with heavy
clouds but the sun is shining where you're at....  Vivid/bright foreground
darkish background...


PS this is a great place for re-inventing wheels.  That's the fun of it.

Well, I can't take any credit for the sky, it's from "skies.inc"
It's simply:  sky_sphere { S_Cloud5 scale .5 }
