Although neither the mountains nor the trees are extremely realistic it
looks somehow beautiful, concerning the trees, if you make only about 5-10
different ones each as one mesh and place multiple instances this will
save a lot of memory, even if you don't reduce detail for the more distant
ones.  In addition grouping the trees into several unions would can also
speed up the render a lot.
