IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Serene morning over Prince Treyson's Stronghold.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Consisting of 4 terrains I started the picture without knowing where I was going to end up. I built one tower, copied it and placed it around the area I wanted to use as fortress, then I added walls and all the trees. I then filled the space inside the walls with the main castle building and some houses and a little church. To give the image more life I added some boxes, little tent-like attachment to one of the houses and two wagons pulled by horses (Which were made in poser and then imported into Bryce). The main gate, the decorative window in the big building and the claw-like sculptures next to the stairs are symmetrical lattices. I then added water and tweaked the material quite some to get the desired effect. After adding a simple "nutshell" boat and a few birds made of some flattened discs I was quite happy with the result.
