Thank you dear sirs!

To tell the truth, I think that Ive's expertise in lighting and image 
control is more fundamental in our mutual business than my knowledge of 
geology :-)
That said, while I try to use geology to a certain extent, it also often 
gets in the way of pure creation, so it is finding the right balance. 
Certainly, the *teeth* are pure WM artifacts (which I have not been able to 
eradicate completely) but under some conditions you can find them in nature 
too, as particular erosional features. I like to imagine that this landscape 
shows steeply inclined, almost vertical, rock layers running over the ridge.
