This is the final version (for the time being) of a scene developed and
discussed on the French POV-Ray n.g. The title refers to Coleridge's poem
Kubla Khan: "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan / A stately pleasure-dome decree."
With thanks to:
Ferdinand for his incredible Citroen models:

Gilles Tran for the extplin macro
POVtree for the palm trees
Poser and Anton Kisiel (Apollo Maximus) for the figures
Apophysis for the image used in the background height_field
GeoControl for the height_fields
Silo2 for all constructions
The POV-Ray Team for.......POV-Ray :-)
Enjoy!

A lovely image. I'm pretty sure Kubla Khan never saw an automobile, tho.
:-) What's the bit on the right, under the trees below the mountain
peak? It looks like something sticking up?

Looks like the entrance to a Bedouin tent to me

<sniff> Yes. (Stoppit Thomas!) ;)
Excellent image as always. You have a good eye for concept and proportion
that I admire.
One small crit? If the guy's cape blows in the wind like that, then
shouldn't the palm tree leaves do it too?

Very nice image! Crispy clear, large field of vision and such a bizarre
concept. Xanadu! All I remember is the bad movie with Olivia Newton
Jones... :P
are those Komodo lizards?...

Thanks! And yes, Kubla Khan would have been surprised. Coleridge, probably
not: as you probably know, he composed the poem under the influence of
opium....
Yeah... There is an old wall and gate over there, but that is one of those
things that are to be changed eventually.

Very true. Problem is: how to do that with POVTree meshes??? I have no
idea.....

Thank you indeed. No Olivia NJ is certainly not in this scene ;-)

Yes indeed. They come from the Content Paradise site (Poser) and where free
some time ago.

That is of course the obvious answer, but it is probably not as easy as it
seems I think. I can image a series of complications right away.... Still, I
shall have to investigate that (along with the 1001 other things I have to
investigate in the near future....) :-)
