The original piece was created as a gift. I liked it and thought I'd change it a bit and give it a title so that the main portion could be shared with all. The birch forest was part of my fall colors photo drive this year. It was shot at an area called "Long Lake" Alaska which is north east of Anchorage. You can find the original photo in my stock photo account at http://justalittleknotty.deviantart.com along with the model photo.
