Description
"... and it is rumoured that deep within that ancient subterranean temple complex, a sect of wizards and technoshamans have gained access to the sanctum sanctorum and there established a permanent walk-through portal to the twisted multidimensionality that underlies our physical existence."Finally, I have discovered the foundation of the technique that seems to be gently proliferating

I would like more information on the text in this submission. You've sufficiently intrigued me...

Just a few words that occurred to me and seemed suited to the image. My creativity was more broad-spectrum in those days *sighs wistfully*

My apologies then. It's a nice quote, but it invoked certain thoughts for me, and I was hoping there was more to it.

There's "sanitorium", but no "i" in this phrase [link]

It resembles the ceiling of some other-worldy temple... has a renaissance feel to it too. Very special effect!

From the thumbnail, I thought I was going to be looking at an elaborately carved stone throne, but in full view this definitely takes on the look of a space... a space designed to put one in awe. It still has a look of stone and in one way it reminds me of the inner chamber at Newgrange.

It does look more throne-y on the thumbnail

But looking at this makes me wonder how I might get up there...

Hmm.. Is it really that simple, though? I wonder.

If you wonder, then it isn't. Once doubt, root and branch, is removed, then it is

This looks to me like a stone bench too. Like a richly decorated stone bench of an egyptian tomb... well at least how I imagine an egyptian tomb bench would look if there was such a thing

If there wasn't such a thing, there should be - somewhere for the living relatives to congregate of a Sunday and contemplate looting

Very, very realistic stone texture . The image drew me in and upwards with a unusual perspective that kept me searching through the beautifully detailed passageway.

wot she sed (LaPurr)
This leaves me breathless with awe
Your latest proliferating theme of archaic stones & cultures plays my with my mindstrings, evoking a hauntingly beautiful aria heard long ago, in another time, so far away.
This is so strong and fine it makes me feel everything I've done so far is a tawdry circus sideshow in comparison. You've set the bar to a new height this time Ian!

Wow! Thank you indeed
That aria - wouldn't be one from the film Aria , by any chance? I only saw the thing once, but I was close to tears for at least a couple of the shorts, especially the 'Tristan und Isolde' number in the Vegas scene...
This one was a big zoom! 80 on Master scale and 1.2 on Zoom

No, my mother was a diva, an operatic soprano, & my mind is haunted by her music - it surfaces in moments like these.
Do you enjoy opera? I find it a clunky old form, doubt if I could sit thru one any more, but can't help responding to certain arias. Prefer Psytrance but the above 
I've been torturing self 
I'll keep pokin' round. 
Maybe you did raze the bar or it's so high it's outasight, coz I can't even see it.
When you are finally satisfied you've nailed this particular technique maybe you'd consider an Ankor Wot script...?

I enjoy the arias, but the whole performance... I wonder whether it's just a middle-class narcotic? Doze in a comfortable fug of howling and roaring, the prospect of an interval jaunt to the bar or a timely bowel relief nestling safely in the back-brain
This technique: it's actually something that came out of a more general one that utilises 2 spherical transforms. I haven't cracked how to place 'objects' like others have, but it was the layout I'd been chasing, thinking it to be julian-related. This obviously uses boarders in a further transform (or was it 2?). Doubt whether it'll lend itself to scripting, but you never know...

I agree, cultural narcotics...
Fortunately mama only sang the arias with symphony orchestras (etc).
But hey, I'm on a rant (again!) 
Have you seen the work of the-panpiper [link] speaking of placed objects!
Thanks fr sharing - back to playing with Apo 
Hope you keep going in this direction, it's so Borabadur, [link] Ankor Wot, Mohenjo-Daro [link] , Mayan Yucatan...mmm..love it!

You have a point about these exterior extravaganzas - perhaps there the vision is more properly realised. I tend to think of metropolitan opera houses when the subject rears, rows and rows of the well-fed-and-shod doing what they think they ought to...
Can't fault the rant - even if these events were fundraisers for change, there's still be the fighting-for-peace paradox.
Looking at the-panpiper's work gives me another idea: are multiple post transforms a possibility? How much simpler to use multiple copies from a single transform. One for the developers, I think

Watch out, Indy...a giant stone sphere could be rolling down that circular portal at any time! RUN!!!
Sorry. I got carried away.....again.
The great perspective that creates a sense of depth and the colors and lines do remind me of stone.
