Just a doodle.  I recently rediscovered World Machine, and this is a recent
result.  I may try and make a real scene out of this...when I have time.

Superb! Is this with the free version, limited to the 512x512 image size?

Yes, just the free version.  Instead of plugging the image directly into the
heightfield, I made a function from it and added just a bit of small-scale
turbulence:

#declare HFX =
function {
  pigment {
    image_map {
      tga "WMCanyon.tga"
      map_type 0
      interpolate 2
    }
    warp {repeat x}
    warp {repeat y}
    scale 50
    warp {turbulence .2}
    scale 1/50
  }
}

#declare Terrain =
height_field {
  function 4500, 4500 {
    HFX(x,y,z).hf
  }
  smooth
  translate -.5
  scale 2
  scale 1/4*y
  scale TerrainScale
}

I expected this to be somehow related to Prince of Persia. Cool image,
though.

"Sands of time" plus "world machine" put the picture in my head of a beach scene
or sandy tiny-island complete with beach blanket or whatever, or even a desert
scene with tents inside the top portion of an hour glass.

PS Nice blend between sand and stone.
