DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Everything was made by me using CSG- mainly the church, the free form modeler - the trees, branches and birds, and the mesh form modeler - the snow, water and rocks. I tried to limit the colors in the textures and used a white light for the sun. I did not think this topic was going to be very interesting, but I had a lot of fun trying to capture a feeling rather than just a scene. I hope I succeeded.
