Description FULL VIEW A MUST

The eve of the roaming spirits, in the backcountry of Alaska. Still, cold, and quiet…..except for the scream of an eagle.

The is a re-post from when I first joined DA last October…..with minimal changes. I wanted to share it with folks who had not seen it, and like me….do not have the time to surf through my entire gallery to find it.

I lost track of the hours in this one but it’s well over 175 hours……The creation and placement of the trees alone….was a nightmare, because I knew how I wanted it to look and the most minute adjustment of tree placement….changed everything!

I’m trying to post one Bryce image a month…..and I posted this before October, but hey…it’s not long before it’s here! lol

Created in Bryce 5 with very sight post in PhotoPaint.

The water is the first thing that made me gasp, then the reflection on the water. The next gasp came from the light filtering through the tree branches. Next, the moon and eagle. Again, you're the master. Let there be no doubt about that.

Awww....thank you so much Scott.....I truly appreciate your most kind and generous comments!! And thanks for the well-wishes on the arm....I'm waiting for results on a PET/CT scan I had Monday.

I have tried for 3 weeks now to get DELL to send me the installation replacement CD's (they vowed they would/and have) and I don't have them yet! So....tonight....again....I contact them and this time I will have to take a more "stern" approach, unfortunately. I need to reformat my hard drive and then re-install my voice software, which will take some of the pressure off my arm. Soooo...here's hoping I can get them to act on this now!! lol Thanks again Scott!!
