Is that a one-eared horse (knight chess piece) I see? Yes indeed, it
does appear to be. I think that thing only renders right in POV 2.0 or
some such. Maybe it's POV-Ray 1.0...
That's a pretty think misty air there, makes more trouble for my eyes
than I have already :) If it dropped off faster upwards I think it would
have looked better, imho.
I like seeing that "landscape" of yours down inside and up close like
that, even if the squares have been enlarged. Bet you are working the
supersampling overtime.
