A step further in the scene building. The landscape is finished. Time to
implement the 'what's it about?' now :-)

Hi Thomas,
very nice scene, and really: what is it about?
Some small remarks: the texture of the chalk cliff to the left looks
like drawn with a ruler. I would add a little warp here, not too much of
course. And a suggestion for the mist over the river. Last week I spent
some days at a river side (Mosel, close to Luxembourg) and I noticed a
very strange pattern of mist over the river. It looked like a crackle
pattern of mist driven over the river by the wind (and passing vessels).
At the moment I have no idea how to model this, but it would enrich your
scene.
Best regards
Michael

Thanks Michael, I really appreciate your comments.
What the scene is about? I must confess that this is rather frustrating
to answer. It has to do with refugees of course. The concept came to my
mind about half a year ago. It was about an elaborate sculpture rather
than a literal scene, with - additionally - some little scene details I
find so fascinating in the work of Piranesi. However, 'Real Life' went
faster than my modelling, 'Reality' surpassing 'Fiction' as it were,
and - to tell the truth - I find it rather depressing to continue on the
path I originally intended to go. So... I do not know yet if this
project will ever be finished.
There is already some warp in the normal controlling the rocks. I shall
revisit the code though.
For the time being, there is a bit of fog over the water, nothing
fanciful, I may replace it by a proper media later on with an
appropriate density pattern. Good suggestion!

A difficult topic indeed. I had a lot of discussions about it during my
electional campaign last year. The best cartoon I noticed so far:
https://www.tagesspiegel.de/themen/zeitung-im-salon/diwan-salon-mit-klaus-stuttmann-und-ahmad-barakizadeh-fluechtlinge-ueberall/14853440.html#!kalooga-20590/~%22Angela%20Merkel%22%20~putin%5E0.75%20~lars%5E0.56%20~europa%5E0.42%20~Abendland%5E0.32
"Are you refugees too?", "Yes, tax refugees".
Best regards
Michael

I can readily imagine that. It is the topic of the day that can break up
friendships and families. Similar to "L'affaire Dreyfus" in 1898:

LOL, yes that is an excellent one indeed.

I rendered a variation. Rock warp included.
Somehow, I prefer this hour of the day.

Because the sun is above the yardarm, or is that just me? ;-)
I prefer this hour of day too.

And after that?
Here Brexit is almost as controversial.
The Dreyfus affair is a stain on France's reputation. Not that the Brits
are free from guilt in that department.
