Description
While I was toying around with creating a particular style of wind-swept tree in the Bryce Tree Lab, I had to come up with a terrain and render in which to use it. The terrain is a combination of two identical terrains with one being slightly smaller, rotated and tilted a bit.
The view is akin to the areas one would find along the rocky slopes near the ocean where the winds would actually shape the growth of the foliage.
Enjoy and thanks for viewing and commenting.

What a beautiful mood and lighting in this scene where the terrain texture is very nice, especially to the left of the tree. A great composition as always, Keith ! Bravo!
Love the shadows , a beautiful mood Keith , excellent work ! Ana
Heyr very cool creation here Keith! and i find myself doing that also,... copy the terrain, past and enlarge or shrink a bit, and of course spin it around also!
Very beautiful work, Keith. Wonderful lighting. I like it a lot!!!
Fantastic image! 5+!
Really nice job Keith!:))))
Hi Keith beautiful work I so agree nice day for a walk even if the wind is blowing sweet smile to you warm hug, Linda
This is beautiful as is, Keith. But for the 'non' critical' I see the tree taller up against the sky. Beautiful render.
Very nice lighting!
CREEPY Me like it :)
super looking
Well...this one goes straight into my faves Keith!The light and shadows in this one are stunning,and your terrain work is some of your best to date,I really like how the terrain dips and rises in a realistic manner...well done!
Wow!!! This has a lot of drama to it. The shadow and light play are fantastic and so well done!
The light and shadow here are beautiful; this almost looks like the Monterey Peninsula here in California!!
Light and shade are superb, excellent terrain. Well done!
Nice work, very well done :O)
Fantastic lighting and shadow.Wonderful work.
Your lighting is exemplary. Great stuff.
Wow, this is cool! Excellent light and shadow play on the rocks, this one made me look again and again!
Very beautiful and very nice work of art!
Copying an blending the two terrains is something I played with a bit, but not to any meaningful extent, more along the lines of 'let's see what happens.' But you plan the terrains and know exactly what you want and make it work for the scene in mind. Good work!
Superb POV, lighting and mats!!!
Great work Keith, your use of the light and shadows is simply wonderful. Tony :-)

Super terrain work again Keith!! Great tree and reflection!!
You certainly nailed the wind effect perfectly left behind after may years of sculpting the environment. Very nice details on the materials too Keith. Muis
Very effective tree form and high coast line. Great light play too, with light and shadow sculpting form.
really outstanding!
This is so very awesome. Looks like a photo. Great textures, and I love that shadow of that outstanding tree. Great job, Keith!!
