I'd take a boat to it and picnic there, yeah.

I thought of putting a normal_map onto the trunks instead, just didn't do
so.  I was thinking a up/down grain should be on them as well as the
banding.

Funny thing, a Microsoft wallpaper of this same scene is already on here.  I
didn't mention it before, sounded so coincidental when Wanderer On The Road
(whomever he/she is).  The photo is rather blurry looking, being stretched
to fit, and the trees are all smoothed out so you don't see any fine
textures.  But I still looked at it to get a better idea how to make these.
Maybe I should add the sailboat the wallpaper pic has into this too.
