I hope you are aware that placement of bushes and grass is random - i 
merely select a version of randomness i find most appealing (you can of

The code for the original version can be found on the mentioned page - 
feel free to play with it (but of course it is hardly commented so 
somewhat difficult to use).  What i changed for the geometry is mostly a
