Another, more radical idea might be to make that foreground mountain a separate
height_field, with its own (finer) detail. Of course, visually blending that one
into your main HF could be a tricky (if not impossible) chore.

Another idea: Perhaps apply an image_map overlay of some kind--one with finer
'detail' so to speak-- to the nearer mountain slope, to give it some visual
variation.

As you can probably tell, I have no problem 'cheating' the structural make-up of
a scene, if I can make it look the way I want.
