This would be a first view of the Ring 'mountains'. I guess they are 
composed of fine material temporarily swept out of their stable orbit by 
an invisible shepherd moon. As yet I have not found any scientific 
explication on the net. Filled with media they look better but cast no 
shadows; with a simple pigment the shadows show imperfections 
(supposedly epsilon value limits again).

All dimensions to scale, viewed from an altitude of 5km. Real dimensions 
scaled down a thousand times. Yadgar's skysphere in the background and 
the usual Tethys and Titan moons.
