Well, curvature is only 0 right at the seam, and not elsewhere.  It's tricky
to get blocks that don't cast really obvious shadows because of this.

I've added a viewing platform at that space, with another row of stones. 
It's not perfect yet, but it actually looks kinda neat.  Adds a little more
interest to that back wall.  Still tweaking settings, though.

Been wanting to do these, actually.  I just haven't come to any conclusions
about what should be *on* the banners.  :/
