i have concerns about the discrete streams and their coloration.  the
artist had excellent sources and the properties of the ring particles
are not well known, so artistic license should be accepted.  i do think
ray tracing would be physically instructive, altho this scene may be a
killing field for subsurface scattering.
  i am intrigued by the possibilities in an actual flat megastructure
next to the tall 'mountains', an inconceivable sight!
  if you have not seen it, similarly exciting and spectacular vistas
are in erik wernquist's short video _wanderers_; wonderful!
