Some people are just slow workers. :-P
There is nothing in the rules that say the entry must be a new image. I
suspect that most people reuse code or parts of old scenes.
Although I suspect that my 2011 entry for the Dinosaurs Challenge, even
though it fits this round, will not be used again. ;-)

The action of moss, and lichen mentioned elsewhere in this thread, is not minor
over geologic time. It is a major element of "weathering", which also includes
wind and water action.

Tiny plants contribute to erosion and large plants inhibit it. Would be an
interesting theme if someone could figure out a way to convey it.

Up to a point for the latter. Think of tree roots splitting rocks.

Indeed... not easy...

I know what you mean, I have so many unfinished images I gave up on for
one reason or other (usually just not happy with the outcome).
I would like to find out my first 'successful' images if I can still
locate the source code and give them a work over (probably end up being
a complete rewrite).

How did you know that my work rate is similar to that of moss eroding
rock. ;-)

Thanks Bert,
Nice close up photograph, if this were Povray I think the rest of us
would have to give up now ;-)
I think I will revisit my moss and add different types etc, this one is
similar to something I have in my garden as well and I like the look so
it is on my to do list.
Currently working on an image for the current round of the tc-rtc though
so I will revisit the moss when my PC is not so busy.
