Description
Ultrafractal 3.02 - Columns and skulls by Apophysis-1 - 110 layers, ouch! ;>)
Deep in the bowels of the earth beneath Orthanc, citadel of Saruman the White, lies the maze of passageways wherein lies the Chamber of the Seeing Stone containing the Eye of Orthanc. Of old, the elven Eldar of Valinor had bequeathed to the race of Men numerous "seeing stones" with which they might have contact in their vigil against the evil Morgoth in his fortress, Barad-dur. From the glow eminating from the chamber it seems that, once again, Saruman is gazing into the stone and falling ever deeper in thrall to Sauron, the Eye of Mordor...
Thanks for stopping by!

Astonishing!!! I love the globe lights and the trim around the chamber door. This must have taken forever to do!

I Wholehearetedly agree with ALL of the above! Another Classic, Rick!
I'm "gobsmacked" and having a difficult time lifting my chin off the keyboard. Magnificent piece of artwork, Rick!
This is your best so far. Congratulations. It sets a new standard for UF
Unreal! A true masterpiece, Rick! Love it!
super 3 d effect! a great work
i'm speechless... 110 layers of best quality work... uiiii..... :-o !!!
Wow, this is amazing! After seeing this quality and estimating the amount of time to put together 110 layers, I think I'm going to stop making fractals because I'll never even get close to this. Excellent work!
A piece of art ingeneral (not only fractal!). Your works about Tolkien are always super!
Amazing technique!
Wooooooow. Im speechless ( for a change ) This is just magnificent Rick, amazing perspective and depth. Wonderful hazy appearance on the left hand side. Everythng is teriffic.. 110 layers warrants more than an ouch lol :) Well done.
This is too good to merit my humble blabbering, so I just go and vote!!!
Wonderful !!
In-freeking-credible!!! You're good! I think the reflected skulls are facing the wrong way though.
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!....are the only words that come to mind at the moment. There aren't any other words, lol. You have outdone yourself again, Rick!! Astonishing composition, every aspect, all of it! My hat's off to you!! Congratulations!

Meisterstk,was soll ich sonst noch sagen?
Just amazing. I have to agree with everyone else, a stupendous work.
Wonderful, my favourite of your work so far.
WOW!!! Absolutely superb!! :):)
Fantastic masterpiece!!! Another awesome image! :^)
...sorry for my "short comment"...just wasn't in the mood the other nite...and ever since then I felt that I need to "splain more"...and now am. Fist of all, me being "a Bryce weenie"--and doing a lot of "3D work"--not only in Bryce but XD as well...I must say that this is probably the best "3D effort" I've ever seen anyone produce with UF--and rivals what I've seen others and even myself do in ANY "3D app"!!!!!...and while I understand the basics of UF, technically, this piece simply boggles my mind...some SERIOUS "work ethic" going on here! Congratulations Rick...most impressive!!!! This image also get my "image vote"...which I think I've done only once before ;-)
Excellent perspective. Great sense of deepness and superb reflections.
Agree with all the above... and really like the "caustics" in the upper atmosphere. Another nice one. Bravo.
