Life in a Desert

      The desert is a place where little precipitation takes place. As a result, an optical phenomenon that forms the illusion of water called the mirage is created. Instead of having the typical desert as a dry land, in my scene I added water life. A pond is located beneath the desert. However, on the surface mirages appear to give the illusion that there is some sort of water in the desert. A tent and a castle are also found to create shelter for the navigator. The desert is created more to please the viewer’s eye than have him/her navigate through it.
