Long Description

A garden atop a stone platform, containing a sculpture of reflecting spheres. The stone platform contains three pillars supporting three smaller stone platforms. Each contains a smaller garden, sculpture, and pillars, reaching into the sky.

Every mirrored sphere reflects the towers above it and garden around it.

Making Of

The foreground objects form a single Lindenmayer System fractal. That means a single sequence of recursive turtle graphics drew the pillars, platforms, gardens, plants, arches, and sculptures. My Fractal Life Engine project modeled the fractals and generated their POVray representations.

The sky and ground are standard POVray textures, and the mountains on the horizon came from another kind of fractal, Fracplanet by Tim Day.

The stone and leaf textures come from Paul Bourke's online library of free textures.
