Yes...when you want specifically to play the gird and cleet game. I remember 
however, to have often played with hoops and old (bicycle) tyres without a 
cleet, just because they were in the right place on the right time. The fun 
was not less :-)  (not much)
But the real thing was something else, although it was not played much 
anymore in the 50's. Especially in France (where I grew up) I do not 
remember having seen them, except in old images typically from the beginning 
of the 20th century (little boys in sailor costumes...)

Hold on! These images were rendered with megapov, not 3.7! Here the 
atmosphere has to remain filtered. However, playing around with 
Gamma/Brightness/Contrast, or any other effect filter, will give you 
interesting things. I tried for instance a very low gamma, high contrast and 
low brightness. Gave a sort of moonlit scene.
