IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
        A simple scene from all of our youths.  Marbles and a bottle of
bubbles, providing endless hours of entertainment for girls and boys,
sitting outside on the pavement in the summer sun.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
        It's a very simple scene, really.  Mostly spheres, cylinders, and
toruses in CSGs.  I used some of the objects from my little sister's 
Super-something-or-other-Bubble Set as models for the bubble bottle and
the pipe-thingy.
        The bubbles are little more that spheres using the iridescence
feature of povray 3.0 -- a really neat feature, even if it doesn't have
a multitude of uses.
        This scene was done without the aid of a modeling program, as is
probably obvious.  A lot of it was jotted down on cheap graph paper that
is now under the printer somewhere.  I used the great shareware program
Paint Shop Pro to create the simple-yet-effective wrapper image map.
