That is probably right. It don't have to look imposing from all angels, but
I hope I can make it in a way, that is okay for many camera positions.

There is indeed a slope pattern with snow. Torganswall is located in
everlasting ice, so I thought there should be some snow in the rifts.
Anyway, I reduced the mortar a bit, perhaps not enough yet. Do you know a
way to make a more regular looking wall without using hundreds of bricks?
