IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
kinda wierd, but kinda cool
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
 Useing the photo I obtained from APOD(Astronomy Picture Of the Day), as a base material texture, I placed it as a hightfield, in Moray,duplicated it once and scaled it unevenly, and added another hight field as the water,which is based on a wave patern in the Moray material editor.
 All light is white, so colors will be from the original base pic. The master photo from APOD is of the "Wheel Galaxy", and is public domain.
 I used Mgi Photosuite to convert bitmaps to .jpegs.
