I've visited the matte painting section at CGTalk and I always leave awed and somewhat depressed.
And BTW, that shot of yours is wildly impressive! Do I see dueling power plants?
(Actually, I see three and I think "duel" implies two. How much power do ya need?)
We have three coal power stations within about 20km's of each other, 2 on the lower part of Lake Macquarie (Eraring and Vales Point) and the one on the right is on a small lake called Lake Mummorah.
Lot closer you for you John! It was fun, but odd, as it was about 10 degrees when I was there, then later that day I was in Death Valley and it was in the upper 70's.
oh man, naked chicks on your web site! Cool. (Seriously, nice pose of the girl looking down into the water).

Looking at it is even more impressive. When you see how much destruction there was it is surprising there were not more deaths.
The National Geographic that came out after the eruption is a true classic, some amazing photography and the human interest stories made it all so real to me back in 1982?

<br />I read somewhere that Lincoln won a law case by claiming that the human eye can't see red in moonlight, but given enough time a camera can see the moonlit flamingo is pink.
