IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    One of those nights when it is so foggy you can't go more
than about 20 MPH.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    The whole scene is contained inside a
box filled with scattering media. The headlights are spotlights, the oncoming
ones have illuminated spheres. The taillights are spheroids with red lights
inside. There are no cars behind the lights; that would have been a total waste
of time, since the whole idea of the scene is the lack of visibility. Most of
my time was spent trying to get the media right, and getting the lights
adjusted to get the desired effect. The rendering time was so long that every
little tweak took forever to see the results. I am quite satisfied with the way
it turned out.
