I like that view. A /slight/ change in look_at might help balance things 
out: #declare LookAt = <22.1, 3, 33.15>; That way the main arch isn't 
being clipped strangely near the top, and the lower-right sun patch is 
still in the picture.

The area_light settings I added might need to be fuzzier too, since it 
would make everything look much bigger.

The tile work will definitely need to be expanded to accommodate 
different views, but it should be easy to fix, and will only result in a 
longer parse time.

I guess I should start making some potted plants now...

For a collaborative effort, it's really turning out nicely :)
