Tom and his faithful companion, Oscar, have gotten up before the dawn and have set out for the far reaches of the ranch to check on his prize Hereford cattle, which are up on the far ridge. It is a large ranch and the cattle are pastured about as far from the main ranch complex as is possible. By the time they find themselves bouncing over the ruts of the trail that follows the ridge, the sun is about to pop above the horizon. *********** I know the pickup looks like it is floating but if I moved it any lower, the bottoms of the wheels would disappear and it would still look like it is floating. Only the right rear wheel (the one you can see) is off the ground. That's okay. I did say it was a rough road. :) *********** Credits: Rendered in Bryce 5.5 with some postwork in PSP5.
