   You mean the foam in the middle of the lake? This is a side effect of 
the foam technique... nothing misterious, I hope: I've enough with the 
artifacts! :)

   The container is box{<-200,0,-200>,<200,8,200>}, although the peaks 
rarely reach the "ceil". I tried to keep the scene scale somewhat like 
1=1km.

   No, I never scale isosurfaces! I've the superstitious believe that 
scaling them increases render times...

   They are just a bunch of boxes. I scale them randomly to have sizes 
between 5 and 15 metters of side (in the scene scale).

   Wait, I'm still cleaning and commenting it. And the web page for the 
LOTW project must be done too...
