Dead conifer tree, fallen.

The grass distribution now is controlled by a merge shader (merging a fractal and the road mask). This sure is something I will use in the future. The tracks are more visible because of this. Also the color of the road was changed slightly to compensate for the changed lighting.

That is much better Andy, like the way all comes together here.

Thank you , Bob.
Actually, I was so pleased with it that I decided to do a final render at 2400x1800 last night; it's on it's way now (estimated render time 20 h or so).

Here's the final render.
Still a few small things , like the hawkweed, that can be improved but I'll move on to the next project. Thank you all for your input!

Altogether, this is a fine render, topped off with a beautiful sunset ...great stuff Andy!
