IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Do you remember Atlas' legend ? this giant was condamned to carry the world. 

And now ... who is carrying our world ? The nature is supporting everthing and
i'm sure it's heavier and heavier because of human being unsetting all the
nature systems. For me, this tree carrying this earth symbolizes actual nature
: looking full of forces but in fact, very fragile.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I tried to create this image only in using PovRay tools. 
So I used the height field generator by Fran_ois Dispot to create the grass,
Megapov to create the curtain mesh and PovRay to render it.
Details to render the picture are in atlas.pov in zip file
