Thanks.

Wasn't really referencing climate change, but I can see how one would interpret
that.  That's the great thing about art, you can interpret any way it makes you
feel whether the artist intended it or not.  Is more just a tub in a desert
landscape from my developmental perspective, I hadn't really thought that deep.
 More of an desolation image, perhaps subconsiously derived from scenes from The
Wall by Pink Floyd.

The water is likely the same as I posted a long time ago as it is one that I am
quite happy with: f_ridged_mf applied to a heightfield and use it quite often
for water scenes with adjustments to suit (ie ripples added here, meticulously
placed and added in using functions, my favourite POV feature).
