Hmm ... I tried to post a reply, but it seems it didn't get through. Here
we go again:
Yes, Greg, I got a lot of inspiration from the Myst games.
I agree that some of the textures are a bit off, but I wasn't going for
photorealism here.
The bluish-white spots are supposed to be lichen, but it's not very good as
it is.
The sky is a photo, it's nice, but maybe not right in this image after all.
Real Time, Thomas? :-)
I'm glad you pionted out the shapes, Jim. The image started with the iron
cage, and I remembered the chain tutorial form the docs and wanted to use
that too. Then I added the clock and it grew from there.
Thanks a lot for the comments and the input, all of you, I have some ideas
how to develop it further now.

Yes, whatever that may be :-)

That's exactly what I thought.
Anyway, I think I might know what's missing: life. Other than the man, your
mountain is completely barren.

So that would be mountain time then? :)

Leakage is inevitable, according to the 2nd law of tempodynamics. The
excess time cancels out the space that leaks away from the Earth in its
orbit. (You wouldn't want time and space to be mismatched, would you?)
GPS satellites very carefully figure time leakage into their calculations
(http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~pogge/Ast162/Unit5/gps.html), for
example. I'm surprised you didn't know this. :-)

Well... you know, my courses in tempodynamics were a long time ago, and
mostly I fell asleep within the first minute, so...
That piece about GPS satellites is an eyeopener to me!
