The bridge model comes from 3D Attic, which has since gone out of business. The boat came from playing around with Amorphium.

The landscape is not as dramatic as I first envisioned, but I like how it all came together.

Most images have one thing that slows progress. Everything falls into place except the lighting, point of view, or as in this case waves. It took forever, but I am glad I stuck with it.

The original concept was less gloomy, but more light would have conflicted with the mist. I like the mood it evokes.

I kept getting requests for a wallpaper version of the 'shroomies' graphic on my main page, but they didn't have enough detail to be any larger. So I started from scratch, and am happy with the results.

This, while minimalistic, is my favorite of the beach sunset series. (and probably the last for awhile.)

I used Bryce's terrain editor to create the bridge, and the ivy. This image might animate well with GT Ripple.

The memory of a beautiful scene tends to exaggerate the key points, trees are taller, valleys are deeper, vistas are wider, and the moon is bigger. I used a telescopic photo of the moon to get more detail.

Was it the water, or the lack of everything else? This image came from playing with palm tree models.
