“The road led through the forest and along the mountainside.
From time to time, across the tops of the dark,
swaying pines that stretched up from the slopes below,
I caught a view of deep, silent valleys; here and there a bird sang,
and dogs barked in the distant villages” - Memoirs of a Good-for-Nothing.

Inspired by a recent hiking weekend in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains National Park
I tried to dodge environment renders with large parts filled with vegetation for a long time
due to the complexity of realistic looking nature scenes.
Having worked with vegetation in my recently finished project “The Last Stop 01”,
I realized it was time to take on a full nature render.
