Due to bad weather I had to rush out a day early for a week long trip, catching a ferry instead of a plane. This image was supposed to be online before I left, and it got left behind. But I'm back now, and have it uploaded.

You would think an image with all one color/material would be easier. But I apparently can't let it be easy. It did however end up like I originally envisioned.

This is a fractal image. The spectral lens flare isn't added, it is actully part of the fractal. I am adding a category for fractals, and will be adding several more soon. See the search page to select the gallery.

Normally I don't do images with alternate versions, but I liked both version of this one too much to drop one. A link to the other is on the wallpaper page, above the image.

I planned on having a small object sit on the newspaper I had been working on, and put the sphere there as a place holder. I loved the reflections and refractions so much, I had to use it as is.

I liked how the lenses on the lighthouse lamp affected the light, but I wish it showed up more in the final image. Maybe I'll use it again someday.
