LOL. This was a fairly simple matter to do. Your lamp is much more 
complex and demands a much higher degree of render precision.

   Much better, indeed... now they look very realistic.

Ah, this explains a much. Seems you have very detailed plans for your city. And
seems we can admire the or other wonderful detail of Gancaloon in the future.

Best regards,
Michael

To tell the truth, the city grows in an organic way. It complies to the 
outline story about Iskander I have in my mind, and to the fuzzy overall 
city plan I have in my mind too. Following inspiration and/or haphazard 
focussing, new elements are added, at first as placeholders or outlines 
(like the Palace), then into increasing details. Sometimes the story 
follows the city building, sometimes the city adapts itself to the story.

So, yes. Besides already known views that are changed/improved, new 
scenes should see the light too I hope.

It is the way in which I work: I start with crude approximations and 
refine as needed. The danger however is that I forget to refine properly 
enough, and sometimes I am just too lazy ;-)

Garden. I barely escaped with my life not to mention all my body parts.
But on reflection, it was worth it. Ah! :-P

You were lucky methinks. Don't stretch your luck though. Next time I 
shall show you the abandoned Old Palace grounds... ;-)

When the Lady sails with you, nought can go wrong. But She is fickle, 
though.

Er! That is nice.
You will remember not to show the tunnel and path leading to the secret 


of coming and going were to be revealed. (As would some of the darker 
inhabitants of your fair town.)  ;-)
