IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

Overnight, tiny fishes were 'mysteriously' washed up to the shore, dead. Soon, on the next day, a flock of seagulls came to eat them. Suddenly, one of the seagulls, dropped to the ground, motionless, then another and then another and soon one by one, they would drop to the ground after consuming the tiny fishes.....

Imagine an environment which has been sustaining life for over million and million of years and suddenly bit by bit due to 'unforeseen circumstances', it 'decays' and becomes lifeless.
      

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

This povray scene was hand-coded. A lot of csg(s) and blobs were used except for:
1) The land mass and shore which were made from a height_field. 
2) The sky that was made using a skysphere.
3) The sea using a y-plane.
