   Yes, I later noticed it... and it was not intentional, just the 
random seed used for the placement.

   Yes, there are some elements at the right, out of camera. But it's 
also due to the stronger bounce of direct sun, on the floor at the left 
side.

   No, it's just that I badly modeled one of the sides of the column on 
Wings3D, and since there are many copies randomly rotated, some times it 
appears this effect. I must have used too little depth on the mortar 
extrusion...
