Where? (looks both ways :)

Yeah, they didn't tell us where to start, only that 'H' did this, and such; they
didn't give us starting numbers to use.
Here's my scene code:

#version unofficial MegaPov .4;

camera{location<0,3,-8>*4 look_at y*-4 rotate y*0 angle 40}

light_source{<200000,100000,-0000>,<1.2 1.2 1.15>}
light_source{<-100000,-10000,-20000>,<.15 .1 .05> shadowless}

//sky_sphere{pigment{granite color_map{[0 rgb<.4 .7 1>][1 rgb 1]}}}

background{<.65 .8 1>*.8}

fog{rgb<.95 .9 .8> distance 200 fog_type 2 fog_alt 20 fog_offset 0}

#declare Fract=function "ridgedMF",<1,2,8,-.5,1>

isosurface{
 function (-y)+(Fract(x,0,z)/15)
 threshold 1 sign -1
 accuracy .001 method 2 eval
 contained_by{box{<-10,-2,-5>,<10,0,10>}}
 //pigment{rgb 1}finish{diffuse 1}
 texture{slope y
  texture_map{
   [.915 pigment{rgb<.45 .4 .3>}normal{granite .5 scale .1}]
   [.925 pigment{rgb<.9 .8 .7>}finish{diffuse .9}]
  }
 }
 scale 20
}
