Thank you, Kirk. Yes, getting there slowly. I am a slow worker and you guys 
are already way ahead of me in giving suggestions for improvements :-)

Yes, that is an excellent idea and one that I should combine with Jim's.

I am not sure. That would be one direction this scene could take. My present 
option is more a place that has been cleaned up to be used for something 
else. Which does not opt out the chunks and such of course. Only, I have not 
yet reached that stage in my visualization of the scene :-)

There are all kind of flutes indeed. I used here the classical feature (also 
in numbers) for the Ionian columns. I still have on my ToDo list a number of 
different columns.
