I know the recent dust-devils have shown evidence of high wind speeds, but I didnt think we'd see this

Hehe, it was great while it lasted. I was sitting here chuckling in my corner.
It's too bad we couldn't find some way to convince the Exploratorium web master to stick that image in with today's downloads. -------------------- ...Tom

That was a good one, I'll have to keep your sense of humor in mind...as for all of you who are now saying you weren't fooled cause the 'shadow wasn't quite right', I'll still bet your first impression was 'Damn! that's cool'.

It was never meant to be a complete photo-real job - I only though of it an hour before I left work yesterday
 I just though I'll just botch it up and whack it out for a laugh - NO ONE will think it's real - but they might go "heh..cool" The colour thumbnail does look quite good though I was going to do just the mast in a RHAZ shot - but couldnt get it to look any good at all and the alpha layer was giving me grief with the shadow tga - so I thought "Sod it - it'll be easier to render the whole damn thing" - and it was Doug |
