Anyone up for ice skating?

A winter night in the Glen of the Twins.

Just a quiet rainy autumn day - in closeup.

This is my digital artwork, not a photograph.

Happy birthday to my twin nieces, Esther and Elodie! This is the sort of scene I'd like to be looking down on - they have so much to explore!

I took this photograph at my grandfather's Christmas tree farm, off the Blue Ridge Parkway near Fancy Gap, Virginia. It had been a rainy, foggy day, and the sky was still grey, so I replaced it with a Vue-generated one. Here's the original shot for the curious.

“Eastward the Barrow-downs rose, ridge behind ridge, and vanished out of eyesight. The sun, a pale and watery yellow, was gleaming through the mist. Even as they looked out towards the setting sun, it sank before their eyes into a white sea, and a cold grey shadow sprang up in the East.”
- The Lord of the Rings, Book I, Chapter 8

I created this with Terragen 3D landscape generation software.

I used Terragen to make this landscape. Since the software didn't allow for any objects, in order to get this castle and bridge I had to shape them out of the landscape as well.

This image was made in Terragen. The castle and moat had to be shaped out of the landscape since adding other objects wasn't an option. I thought it turned out pretty believable considering the limitations of the software.
