Following up on the thread "spinner" space colony, and taking up againthe 
work of 2005, here are two views of Larry Niven's Ringworld, scale 1:1, 
during day and during night. Like Niven tells that, during the day, the 
"Arch of Heaven" is much less visible than during the night. This is indeed 
confirmed by my visit there ;-)

The ground surface is featureless because of the huge scale. A local 
landscape should be superposed on it. That will be the next todo.
