I used 3D software called Terragen to create the background for this image. I used a photo I took at Jindabyne in NSW, Australia as a surface texture for the background. I added a tree growing on the rock face in Photoshop. In June 2006, as I looked at the image I thought about the valley of weeping becoming a place of refreshment, but could not remember the name of the valley. As I was trying to remember, the Holy Spirit put the name "Achor" into my mind. It was not the name I had been thinking of, so I searched and found the verse I wanted - Psalm 84:5-7 and named the art: Rain/reign in the pool of Baca (Weeping).

I did not know what the word "Achor" meant. So I looked it up and found out that it was perfect for the image (Hosea 2:14, 15). The valley of Achor (trouble) becoming a "Door of Hope". The space between the cliffs was like a "door". So I widened it.

I added more rocks and a rusty watering can and decide that it should be called by the name the Holy Spirit had popped into my mind. The Valley of Achor.
