IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This mindscape is another exploration of the artistic possibilities of scripted ray-tracing, i.e. an attempt to do something which would be quite tedious, difficult or even impossible with other means. The title refers to a part of Beethoven's last piano sonata op. 111. This image tries to capture some of the feelings the Arietta evokes in my mind after the dark beginning of the sonata, the first bars are like first rays of sun after a long night in a dark valley, really the most spectacular landscape after a time with none.
