Default Greeting Card

Gianna, I've seen the card very nice. Two questions
1) Is that gravel meant to represent snow?
2)That wall with its red markings, looks like it's been used by a Firing
Squad!

Please tell me no, to no: 2, as I'm quite concerned.


As I am not entirely sure what you mean, perhaps the following will help:

Main image (first) ...
The 'red' areas you refer to are where the local pink granite, of which
the wall is built, is allowed to show through the render.

There is a small strip of gravel along the base of the wall but it is
barely visible in this image ... and it represents ... umm ... gravel.
The 'white stuff' covering most of the ground is hail.

Closing image (last) ...
This shows a more detailed image of the point near where I was standing
to take the first image. The hail in this image represents ... umm ...
hail.

Both pictures were taken this morning (immediately after I made my
observations) for the purpose of making the card ... I do this each
year, usually for friends only. The full version this year has a little
more visual content than the version on the Meteo site, and is set to an
extract from the second movement of Vivaldi's concerto known as 'Winter'.
