That last picture (or perhaps first, since you said they were in reverse order) looked so realistic! I see a grand total of one billboard edge in those trees. Trunda and the Billboards score again! That sky ain't bad, either. I'd ask you what it is, but I'm having trouble with TS2009 SP4 forcing me to use Medium Clouds on any of my routes, which just doesn't look right under most weather conditions except "Clear". Likewise, SP4's also forcing me to use Choppy Water. I hate when my water looks like a close-up of the surface of a bathtub.......OK, sorry for the rant, back on topic...
Good job, and looking forward to the finished route!
