IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

This place should look familiar especially for those who live there, so try and
guess where it is.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I started out making the buildings. There're 19 in all. They're mostly boxes
with textures on them. The snow is a heightfield. I used a mesh tree macro for
the trees in the background (Paul T. Dawson's). In front of those trees as well
as the two blurry trees on the side are spline trees by Andrew Clinton. I
wanted to work on this some more but finals are coming up so here's what I
have.

BTW, there was no snow on the trees or buildings from the picture I worked off
of. I thought that was kind of odd so I asked one of my snow experienced
friends about this. He said that this does happen. Well, at least it makes my
rendering job easier.
