A good suggestion, Thomas. I have implemented a first attempt at what you
describe, attached here. I think it does look better, although that's partly
because I now have more crevices in which to grow the grass! :-)

I haven't tried many very large renders, but I think the grass, stones and
pigments should hold up quite well. I intended them to be extreme foreground
features, as with the columns and bricks. We'll soon see; I'll try a
full-quality full-size render this week.
