Nice, feeling very peaceful and calm. Now go for the rush hour. ;)
BTW, they have very wide streets there...

This is some kind of 'Main Street' for this part of town ;-) The others
are narrower.

Are you going to eventually increase the number of windows on those houses?

I suspect they have neat atriums where people go if they do want some
sunlight.
You don't want to get all that desert sand into your bedroom and
kitchen, do you.

No. The houses are oriented inwards around an atrium. Streets are for
moving around not for idly peep into you neighbours homes :-)

Thank you Paolo. I am not yet satisfied with the trees. POVtree is
sometimes hard to control and get what you really want, but I am slowly
getting there.

Yes, I tried POV-Tree, too, but don't know how to get what I want: a
main stem, curved towards one side, and branches getting out on the
other side. In fact, there is such a tree right in front of my home. :-)

Speaking of oddly shaped trees...
There used to be a a famous tree in my locality (Ventura, California) -- locally
famous only, of
course. It was a palm tree, the kind that has a very tall, bare trunk, with bushy
fronds only
at the top. It was damaged in a storm many years ago and the top broke and fell over
at a right
angle. It didn't die, but continued to grow -- upward. So it resembled this rough
ascii
representation:
_\|/_
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although this diagram doesn't show it, they did add a diagonal brace to support that
original
right-angle bend. The street where it was located became named Crooked Palm Drive.
Unfortunately, it didn't survive a more recent storm which broke the top completely.
But it was
a well-known local sight for something like 50-60 years.

People who grow bonsai trees also intend to give weird, twisted, or
bizarre shapes to those special mini trees.

Links would be a better option in povray.binaries.images than posting
photographs of plants.

That depends on whether the poster owns the copyright to the photographs
or at least has a license to distribute them (in which case posting them
in povray.binaries.images is somewhat ok, although we do prefer rendered
images), or whether he just copied them from arbitrary sources on the
internet without checking the terms of license (in which case he should
_recall the post IMMEDIATELY_[*]).
[* In German Thunderbird that would be done via the menu item
"Nachricht->Beitrag zurückziehen".]

I didn't even think of copyright reasons. Bad person that I am.
I was thinking more along the lines of. Everyone I know, knows what a
bonsai tree is. Why take up bandwidth and disk space?
I still remember the days of dial up. ;-)

Hi,
I showed these trees only, because of the special shape we spoke about
before. I wanted to show, what kind of shape I have in mind.
Besides, I didn't even know that it is possible to remove a sent
posting. Interesting. Learned something new. Will try it out, later today.

Nice, Thomas :)
Do you have a map of sorts of Gancaloon, where all of your renders are located?
It would be neat to see them all collected and "globally positioned".

Yes and no. I generally use an orthographic map render of the site, with
axes and divisions to get my bearings. Generally, not everything is
shown there, sometimes only with a simplified stand-in. This example
dates back to 2013. While not up-to-date, it gives a fair approximation.

Your jpg is broken. I keep trying to click on it to zoom in, like on
the amphitheater, and nothing happens.

Interesting that the city fathers built the wall so far out, lots of
room for expansion. Yet, there appears to be no homesteaders out of the
city. Surely, somebody is fed up with the local political bickering and
moves out. Or farmers.

In reality, there is a lot that needs development but it is true that
part of the city has been abandoned, particularly at the eastern side.

Here's that tree I spoke about. Hard to get such a result with a tree

I dislike it that way, because if someone quotes the very long text of
someone else, it is a lot of scrolling until I see the new text finally.
For me, not the old text a second time is more important, but to get
right away to the new text. But i guess, that liking depends on how a
software displays the threads and postings.

While you may dislike it, it is customary here.
Which is a strong indicator that the majority of active users prefer the
reply to be below the quote.
Actually, the preferred format seems to be to interweave quotes and
replies, with the reply sections below the respective quoted sections
they refer to.
Also, long quotes are customarily trimmed down to the important portions
where applicable.

We need to avoid getting personal.
The way I see the messages of others is often this way, that I have to
scroll down long source code parts or text, before I finally reach the
part, that's interesting for me (new text). If i have ideas or
suggestions, I usually go ahead and use them, in order to show others
the ways I prefer. That has nothing to do that I don't care for others,
or that I fail to become average or a part of the majority.
I am attaching a screenshot that shows, how the posts are displayed. I
do not want to allow the Auto-Open feature (in regards to e-mail
viruses), thus this integrated view. And that shows, why I prefer older
text to be where it is not in the way for my writing.
If the need to keep old text at the top is really so strong, I will
follow these rules. It is just the more uncomfortable solution for myself.
