Actually, There is a wall beyond the railing.  It surrounds a recessed garden
that's accessed by way of a series of staircases.  I am going to have light
fixtures, and I'm currenttly working on a media sky for the scene, but given
the rather large scale, it's being difficult.  I'm also planning to have a
large tree in the center of the garden, I'll have to see what I can come up
with.
