You could probably start with making a grid of spheres using two nested while
loops.  The effect in  your sample could be achieved by an increased random
displacement and leaving out some position from bottom to top.

BTW, you should consider using jpg for posting pictures here, downloading 600k
can be really boring and you could easily compress this pict. to below 100k.
Please read the guidelines in p.f-a-q.
