Wyck Rissington lies a few miles south of Stow-on-the-Wold just off the Fosse Way. In contrast to it's neighbour Bourton on the Water, Wyck Rissington seems a tranquil haven lost in time. Wyck is a Saxon term for an outlying farm while Rissington refers to a hill covered in brush. The village sprawls along a broad village green for a mile or more with houses set far back from the roadside. A beautiful collection of Cotswold cottages and farms meander past the village pond and down to the church at the end of the village. The church has an attractive new roof with a fine cross on the gable. The building is12th century in origin, the 9ft thick walls at the base of the tower date from this period. The tower itself and the important Early Gothic chancel are 13th century and are probably the work of Eynsham Abbey which owned the advowson at this time An interesting church with many original elements such as the Early Gothic east window arrangement and a magnificent 14th century stained glass crucifix with it's rare green glass cross. Another claim to fame is an association with Gustav Holst who at the age of 17 in 1892-93 became St Laurence's organist, his first paid post. The church and village inhabit a long lost age and are a peaceful place to visit. www.bwthornton.co.uk
Cold Aston otherwise known as Aston Blank is an isolated hilltop village whose names apply embody the bleak winter winds that sweep across it's houses.

It is of Saxon origin as a carved fragment of cross bears witness to and for all the alterations over the intervening years it has many features of historic interest added to it's architectural beauty and it's picturesque setting. www.bwthornton.co.uk

Planet with a distinct feature: almost half of the planet's surface is burnt and covered with searing lava. It is speculated that the planet used to be earth-like prior to an armageddon-type of event.
8000x4000 seamless, equirectangular planet texture of a generic desert-like planet. Includes dedicated diffuse, bump, specular, cloud, cloud bump, and light maps all generated using Blender and Gimp. Three different light maps were created to resemble different kinds of planet population: urban, rural, and metropolis. These can be used individually or combined for varied lighting effects. Most of my work is completely free to use by anyone, and I encourage their distribution. My goal is to create a one-stop-shop for planets. My only stipulation: ** These planets are to be used for strictly NON-PROFIT projects. ** Check out my ModDB page for the raw textures themselves: https://www.moddb.com/members/shiny-man Deviant Art: https://www.deviantart.com/schinyman
