I'd really like to be in this challenge. It looks very interesting. I've been spending a lot of time with Terragen the last month and I have to say my "sky eye" and "weather look" seems to have sharpened considerably. I have in fact been fooling with the Vue atmospheres somewhat. The time limit of "about two weeks" is somewhat of a constraint though. In a few days my wife and I are going to visit her folks in Norway and won't be back until the 29th. So, this will probably be over by then but I guess it would be all right if I submit mine a few days afterwrds, ikke sant? I could probably do it before going but being self employed one must jump through the hoops one's clients present so even the last few days I've been lucky to pop in on the forums now and again. And, hey Mike, you done good on this one, fella! It ought to be just that, a challenge. Larry F
