What worries me is that it looks like the edge of the world - a bit of rain and you could be washed over the horizon :laugh:

Hans would like it there, look, no ospreys. Stuart seems to know more about how to book.

By the way, did I ever post this one? It shows you what you see if you do fall off the edge of the world...

Ken uses a free program called Terragen Classic. See Gallery for some samples of what's possible with this program.

As Hans has already said, I used Terragen to create the picture, specifically TG v0.9.4.3 aka TG 'Classic'.

TG 2 is a much more powerful beastie, capable of much, much more than TG 0.x but it comes with a steeper learning curve and hefty hardware requirements unless you have a spare PC that can be left to render the image for hours on end.

You can find out more about both versions and get them :free: from http://www.planetside.co.uk/

What's the problem? If you've managed to get a ticket why can't you go?
