D. J.,

Thank you.

There are a lot of historical problems in this picture.  This started as a
test image for testing the bricks (which I'm using for a primitive temple).
And image mapping on isosurfaces (for a different scene).  Since I was
working on them at the same time, I combined the two tests.

However, I liked the test image a lot.  I think I am going to strip out the
walls and floor and replace them with something a bit more accurate.  Pry
for this scene a roughened limestone wall with (partial) plastering would be
the best.  I will pry start reworking the image tonight.
