IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A temple, it's two defenders, an invading torus, and a bit
of fire at one of the spheres coming from off screen.  Unfortunately, the
ground fog, which is actually a dust halo turns out to increase the render time
by a factor of about 6.  This is an earlier version than I had intended to
send in - the newer version is still rendering even as I type this - so it
is missing some elements.  Nuts.
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:  By hand.  Just a text editor and
the occasional bit of paper.  And lots of test renders.
