POV-Ray at school
Some of the following gallery homepages are availible only in German language.
But most time it is easy for only English speaking people to find the gallery by following
the links named "Galerie" or "POV-Ray" or "Bilder"(=images) or something like this.
It is worth visiting them: the images are "speaking" international.
