Believe it or not but the basic scene settings for this image have been 
in existence for several years. Often those kind of things never reach 
completion.

Macros are kindly acknowledged:
SkySim by Scott;
Fastclouds by Zeger Knaepen;
Cloud by Gilles Tran;
Rain by Jaime Vives Piqueres;
Grass by Bill Pragnell with a texture variation based on Gilles Tran's;

Trees are Xfrog models;
Extra grass polls are Poser models;
Human is Poser model;

My own:
Landscape (GeoControl);
Bicycle (Silo);
Concept (Grey Matter) ;-)

I believe it.

It is quite surreal.
Your images are all good but this is one of your better ones. :-)

Is that guy's name Al, or is that a typo in the signature?

oh my.. I remember about a year ago I promised a new version of that 
fastclouds.. I never completed it, partly because I needed a POV-Ray 
feature that's not there: pigment-fog.. like a distance-faded 
sky_sphere, which I believe scott actually put in a POV-Ray patch.

Maybe someday I'll still complete it.

Now, concerning the image :) I really love it!  I actually have been in 
a very similar situation where I was riding my bike to work and I looked 
back, and I saw a huge dark rain cloud coming my way. I tried to go 
faster to get to work before the rain reached me, but it just came too 
fast :) I was soaking wet when I got there :)

Looks like mr Big Hat has a bit farther to go though :)

cu!

LoL. A typo indeed. I left it as I liked the ambiguity.

Thanks Stephen. The original idea involved a bicycle race on those 
ungainly machines, but somehow it did not really take off. I  like this 
idea better.

I try to simulate it by using two ground fogs. Not entirely perfect but 
it works more or less.

That would be nice.

Me too. I had a similar experience. :-)

Yes, probably.

This image and your last one, have really made me itch to start Poving 
again.

That is excellent. Start scratching! ;-)

No better compliment than that indeed. Thank you.

The urge to try placing objects, in SDL, is growing.
