Lucky you... I dream of living somewhere were I can have the pleasure of
doing so...

Care to point out some areas (in this image) that you think would have this
sort of outcroppings?

Wonderful! I hope I can finish it some day. I really has been a long, and
interesting process. First, I started with the mountains, then I added some
water, and clouds. Then I added the bridges, and we went on and on about how
the scale was wrong (I'm still not sure to this day). Then I added some
grass, a waterfall, and a castle (to give the bridges a purpose). Then I
removed the castle, waterfall and clouds while I perfected them*. Now I've
had the pleasure of adding better clouds, and improving on the grass part (I
really feel there is little I can do, other than better texturing, to
improve on how the grass works now). I picture the final having more
realistic texturing (especially of the mountain), a nice castle on the
mountain there, and a few trees (one at least, in the foreground), and maybe
even a couple Poser figures too (an eagle or two wouldn't hurt... ooh, and
some horses). :)

*Chris Huff, if you're reading this, please continue your work on your
particle_system thing. I would like to use one to make the waterfall.
