Once in a while I finish a long-running wip scene. November last year saw 
the previous version. In the meantime, I *lost* the alien (never overwrite a 
file with another bearing the same name!!!) and had to build him up again 
from scratch. Gave me the oportunity to make changes and improvements.

Well, according to knowledgeable people, suitable planets are visited at 
least thrice.

The first time, by the so-called * Bridge Builders* who, on purpose or not, 
scatter the seeds of life.

The second time, the *Traders* pay a visit and help boost burgeoning 
civilizations. On Earth, the Indus, Sumerian, and La Tene civilizations were 
boosted that way. The present image clearly represents a Traders' period. 
Visibly not always successful...

The third time... well, you do not want to know about a typical visit by the 
*Reapers*... Just pray you will not be alive when eventually that happens to 
Earth...

Both figures derive from the Apollo Maximus model; dog/wolf from Poser; 
trees by POVtree; grass by Bantam Grass; Clouds from the FastClouds macro by 
Zeger Knaepen. The city was modelled after an old book cover:

Hope you like it.
