IMAGE DESCRIPTION:Frozen Time
A watch in an ice-cube with a snowy landscape.
The feeling of being helpless in front of time. The same watch 
indicates several hours, just because it is reflected in an ice-cube. 
Time has many faces (reflections in the cube) but at the end it never 
changes, thus it is frozen (ice-cube in snowy landscape).

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

We used exclusively PovRay for Windows 3.0. 
The numbers of the watch are made with the "text" feature 
of PovRay 3.0. 
The signature is a height-field using a gif-file created by 
Paint-Shop Pro. 
The landscape is another gif-file projected on a box.
The cube is a superellipsoid with a glass-like texture, 
using a diamond refraction (ior 2.4) and some reflection. 
The rounded shape of the superellipsoid gives some nice effects.

Standard "texture.inc" file by PovRay is used.
