Description
Wind, snow, ice and rain all do their part in breaking down the Earth's landforms; but, the largest destructor of them all are 'lichens' - a simple plant consisting of a fungus living in close association with algae growing on rock. Lichens break down rock with their enzymes leaving sand and dust in their path.
Thanks to joshus_hund (aka 'Jens') for this 2049 terrain he calls 'Emotional' which is available at his web site: http://www.joshus_hund.com .
Also, thanks to JPSoft for cutting out my balloon picture; and, for the PSP techniques on how to insert the balloon into the picture.
Buzzzzz also continues to give me some great tips on using both PSP and PS.
