You have inspired me to try something similar :)

No, you do not *rotate* the ground fog, but orient the up parameter
differently, like this:
up <0, 0.5, -0.2>
Simple and effective :-)

Thank you, Marc. I think this is the only instance where I used this trick,
by orienting the up parameter of the ground fog. Since then I forgot about
it (or did not need it, which is almost the same)

Thanks, Sam. Different orientation of *up* is all you need. :-)

Thank you, Bill. Sometimes I think I did better work in the past than
nowadays... I remember I had a series in mind with different perspectives
and in different scroll styles. I never went any further but it might be
worthwhile to explore that line of work again. So much to do, really; or
rather so many different ideas to explore...

Yes, that is very useful. I totally forgot about it, until I revisited the
scene by chance.

Thank you! And yes, they are the greatest challenge, and excellent for
memory training :-) But there is some rationale behind them which helps a
bit.

Ah! Excellent! Inspiration is all we need really. There are many tracks to
follow in this vein ;-)

The Jade Emperor looks kindly on me... However:
Buy only wine, when you have money -
Never buy land in the Southern Mountains!
That draws tax collectors, to your dismay,
Under the misty blue pine trees.
Which are wise words by Li Deng.

Ah! Very appropriate and one of those little Li Bai jems.

To maybe finish off, a haiku by Issa, suitable for Povers.
O snail
Climb Mount Fuji,
But slowly, slowly!
