I just recently re-discovered Hosiah's "Worst Greeble Formula Ever" from 
2006.

This is my first Gimp-based heightfield using Hosiah's 
greeble-generating technique. Since 2006 Gimp has evolved and some 
terms, and maybe defaults, have changed. If I can find the time, I shall 
dig somewhat deeper into this fascinating way of producing "greebles"...

To me it looks like a randomized Angkor Wat...

Well done!

P.S. Have you tried to add birds projecting huge shadows? It somehow 
remembers me of a videogame of years ago (ok, with airplanes instead of 
birds).

Good idea. That might be the beginning of a new story from here...
