Thanks Michael, I really appreciate your comments.

What the scene is about? I must confess that this is rather frustrating 
to answer. It has to do with refugees of course. The concept came to my 
mind about half a year ago. It was about an elaborate sculpture rather 
than a literal scene, with - additionally - some little scene details I 
find so fascinating in the work of Piranesi. However, 'Real Life' went 
faster than my modelling, 'Reality' surpassing 'Fiction' as it were, 
and - to tell the truth - I find it rather depressing to continue on the 
path I originally intended to go. So... I do not know yet if this 
project will ever be finished.

There is already some warp in the normal controlling the rocks. I shall 
revisit the code though.

For the time being, there is a bit of fog over the water, nothing 
fanciful, I may replace it by a proper media later on with an 
appropriate density pattern. Good suggestion!
