• I got the distinct impression, from both reading the comments and looking at the ratings, that “The Shrouded Desert” was not a favorite. Ok, they can’t all be winners I guess. Still, I didn’t want to leave it as is so I went back and changed it up a little and rendered a new version. The camera angle has changed, as has the atmosphere. I’ve removed a lot of the extra peaks and I’ve added some vegetation to help with the sense of scale. All in all, I like this one better than the original (which will go to the Pickle Jar). I hope you agree!
• Thanks for all the kind birthday wishes! My Mom watched the kids so Jessie and I could go into Chicago and spend the day. It was a great birthday!
