Description
I use to spend summers at my grandparents and one morning, after a storm kept me awake at night, my Grandfather came in, banging his cane. "Charlie!, Charlie! They're here! Wake up, Boy!!"
I had heard the story plenty of times and kind of believed it, but kind of not. As we got to the bluff over the shoreline, I saw them. The anvils had come in with the storm. The last time he had seen them, was back in the 20's when he was a little older than I was. he said it a good luck sign to see the anvils. Excitedly, I ran down to the water's edge, then lept and danced, in and out of all the huge anvils. As far as the eye could see, both north and south, the anvils lay about kind of sadly, like their journey was over. Waving to Granddad, who was making his way across the sand, I ran towards the point. Then suddenly, there it was. smaller than the others, but just sitting there, waiting. The Golden Anvil. I knew we were rich now and had all the good luck in the world.

I was importing an anvil that I made and kept making adjustments in Amapi and then importing it into Bryce again. After I had about twelve anvils, I knew I had to make an image with them. I could tell, it was a sign.

At first glance, I thought this was the sequel to "The Glaxtonbury Bridge". Another extraordinary image!

How many Bryce images have I seen with those realistic waves?? NONE. You finally did it (even though you used another program for it) still you did it, I like the trees too...

Somewhere out in the depths of the ocean, lay an Acme distribution vessel, void of the shipment of anvils...and appearently this is not the first shipment to lay waste on the beach...no wonder the coyote had to utilize boulders, though he was no better at tossing them than the anvils..but really..who knew? Fun stuff Dave, and artistically presented in both sight and story..(=

You better grab that golden anvil before the hords of volunteers get there to push them back into the sea :) What an imagination, thank you!
