Quite soothing to gaze at especially when one's consciousness is suitably enhanced through the use of an appropriate medium.
It's kinda fun to experiment with different colors of fog.
Would be cool if the developer would populate the scene with some additional elements of interest: trees, bushes, and animals/wildlife.
Anyway, a really sweet little freebie.

The developer and his web site have disappeared. You can still find a link to the screensaver here:
