Good idea.  Although I would think that in a desert very little
moss/lichen/algea would grow.

Have you seen the inca stone work?  The blocks are all strange angles but
after several hundred years they still fit together so tight that you can't
get a razor blade between them.  Although the way I have the blocks set up
it doesn't look that good.  Anybody have a suggestion on how to change that?

Good point.  Texturing is not my strong point.

> By the way, how did you position the bricks - can you send me the source?
#declare ringoblocks = union {
#declare i = 0;
#while(i < 360)
// create a box that extends between the 2 specified points
object {
  Stone_B_01(BlockX, BlockY, BlockZ, BrickRound)
  //Stones adapted from Christoph Hormann's brick macro
  //modified and updated for POV 3.5
  translate <0, 1.08, -0.8>
  rotate y*i
}
#declare i = i + 30;
#end
}
object { ringoblocks }
object { ringoblocks translate y*0.15 rotate y*15}
object { ringoblocks translate y*0.3}

ps.  if Christoph or somone he knows is reading this:  If you want me to
remove the bricks and start from scratch just ask.  Sorry for any
inconvenience.
