Here is a shadow that you should look at if you wish to understand the toys that powerful people like to own.

Well notice the shadow on the wall of the child playing jump rope. That's one cute kid with one end of her jump rope tied to the fire hidrant. Oh wait if her jump rope is tied to the fire hydrant then where is the child and the rope in the picture? More ever why is there a shadow right there on the wall? If you notice the fire hydrant also has a second shadow coming from it that does not get cast onto the wall. This would suggest that there are two light sources, but if you look at all the other shadows in that picture you notice the angle matches up with the second shadow from the fire hydrant.

But what about the child and her jump rope? Where are they coming from and why don't we see them? Well the answer is because the child is dead, and the rope is no more. Her shadow, the rope's shadow and the fire hydrant's shadow all got burned onto the wall with a nuckler blast.

Well, I'm done being morbid now... I hope that picture makes more sence to you now Trist.

Explains that its fake and how he did it..

Yes Trist, the image is a fake but it's bassed off of of something real. If anyone thought that was real I am sorry if I lead them to believe that. But I guess I assumed most people understood that PovRay was a 3d graphics art program.

by **Mummu** » Thu Nov 04, 2004 9:28 am

no, its not a fake.
it a 3d rendered picture.
fake means for me a real picture put in the wrong context or manipulated.
this is a fine work of art. its even used a raytracer tool, raytracers are cool!
and for those that didnt read the whole text linked to by tris, the text on tablet means:
Let all souls here rest in peace,
for we shall not repeat the evil.

That's seriously food for thought....

Is that any question why Nuclear weapons are actually feared to be used, even by those who wield them? India and Pakistan had them in a period where they would have done anything to destroy the other, and they still did not use them.

It doesn't touch upon my heart. The use of 3d imaging cheapens any factual reference this has. It feels fake, looks fake, and even conveoys a feeling of being fake despite truth behind the event. Would it be the actual photo, I'd have been hit a lot worse..

This, sadly, is just like staring at any odd photoshop.

ehh perhaps I see art in the starngest things though. I see a candy wrapper on the ground and I can see the art in it before I pick it up and throw it out.

It is art....a unique and rather creative one, I just am saying it doesnt have the emotional depth it seems to for some of you.
