Description
Alpha, a planet much like Earth, was colonized in 3024. It derives its name from the Greek, meaning 'beginning.' Cities and settlements are referred to as 'sectors.'
Being much like Earth in atmosphere and plant life, it is also much like Earth in another way: seismic and volcanic activity. How ever predictable these two forces may or may not be, no one could foresee what was about to happen here in Sector XII.
The entire top half of the volcanic peak literally collapsed with such fury during an eruption that it sent wave after wave of pyroclastic flows streaming down its hillsides covering everything in its path.
Yes, even on other worlds, disasters happen such as here on Earth. Some, with even more catastrophic force than ever imagined.

Brilliant! A complete story in four short paragraphs and one accurate, beautiful and tragic illustration.
Your sense for imagination and designing scenes in Bryce is always a treat for me, as a Bryce user. Everything here adds to the outstanding quality of your scene: terrain formation, objects, camera position and lighting. Excellent work, Keith, of pure beauty.
