Heheheh, Yup, it's the one-ear allright :-)

Well, It should be easy, But then... Hmm, it'd force me to open the file and
edit it... too much trouble ;-)
Nah, I'll see to it.

Well, they are large, I know. but then, there are two reasons.
	1) 	Object placing. (If it becomes smaller I'd have to remove the
		objects, they'd look awkward from this POV)
	2)	ParsingTime. It'd be easy to increase the amount of squares and 
		thus have smaller ones. but i'd parse slower.
and, in this image, you only see a very small part of the whole landscape.

hehe, it took some AA at least :-)
