It would be easier than a Ringworld from ground level. The animation
above was taken at 3 million kilometres above the ground.

Always strong, when I can get it.
(Milchkaffee) can be a real treat - the scalded milk has a flavor that I'm not
sure can be replicated any other way.
Gotta have sugar. Caffeine is just the foot on the gas pedal. The sugar is
what feeds the engine.
Otherwise I get the shakes. :D

Just use a plane as the ground, then, use another render of the ring
itself as a background.
If standing near a side wall, use a very long box on that side.
