Two Axo's in Landscape2

So after much toil I have a semi-snowed landscape. Still haven't been able to make it actually snow, and the ice/snow texture does some WEIRD things when you get close to it BUT it'll do for now as a draft. I'm happy how the two monuments sit in this sight (colour wise, textures, lines....) I rearrange some the location of the two monuments so that the "skyscraper" is now actually on the lowest part of the landscape - however it is tall enough that it's main area of interest (the top linear section) sits in amongst the mountain tops. I chose this location for it as it dramatises the height and thinness of the structure from the base when one looks up at, almost as though it touches the sky. Yet at the same time looking at the structure from the other monument (the puzzle) or even the mountain tops the 'head' of the structure still promotes interest for the user and sits apart from the landscape as it is one that is very vertically inclined compared to the structures play on horizontal lines.

I also like the "puzzle" being on a mountain top as it is a very solid, blocky structure compared to the "skyscraper" and I think in its place on the mountain top it is given a lot more prominence and it also sits in well to the landscape. It appears almost as a surprise to have such a heavy structure in amongst the particular landscape I have generated.
