Hello friends and visitors! Welcome!!!!! This is a Bryce render with some post work in Photoshop... Thank you for all views and/or comments!! Have a wonderful day and happy creating! ***This image is inspired by a true story.... When I was young I decided to take up the wonderful sport of snowboarding. I was already an extreme sports junkie by this time..being heavily involved in both bmx freestyle and a serious skate rat to boot! Naturally I wanted to expand my horizons so I enlilsted a great, but mischievous friend of mine. Jaimie was already an experienced skier.I asked him to go with me to the mountain and help show me the ropes. He assured me that my substandard equipment was more than capable of handling mountain terrain. This was my first mistake! The board was a department store piece of sh**t that I had used on the very small hills around my house....rofl lmao!! Huge mistake!!!!! Then he informed me that he had already been to this particular ski resort many times and knew his way around! (This is true! but was actually my quite literal downfall!) So after countless painful falls and ridiculous attempts he felt I was ready for graduation to a different "beginner" trail. I had determind that I was quite capable of turning to the right (ie frontside) but was having a very difficult (read impossible) time of turning to the left!!! I asked my friend to please take me on a trail that spiraled only down to the right and I thought I would make it down alive!!! Instead he takes me to an expert black diamond slope that is completely left handed turns (for me would be called backside turns) and is appropos because most of my time was spent on my now, rather sore, backside! Now we get to the part where the render comes in!!! He was following close behind me, no doubt laughing so hard he was crying at my shouting and cursing him for taking me down this hellish slope!!!! Well we get to a nice sweeping left hand turn (or backside) that I must make or risk launching off a sizeable cliff into the towering trees! Well needless to say I didn't make it and all I remember him shouting was "Watch out for the tree!" in a laughing voice.. I certainly did more than "watch out" for the tree because I ran smack right into one (between 15 - 20 feet off the ground) and it probably saved my arse!!!!!! I swore after that day I would never go snowboarding again but was back in less than a month!!! Oh the incorrigibility of youth!!!! Anyway this render is what it might have looked like from my friends point of view, the moment after I careened off the path into the trees and then face down into the snow!!!! All I left was a puff of snow mist and spray....... POOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BYE BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
