I'm still not sure whether I like the strata. You can see the road is going uphill now, but it gives a strange feel. And the stream is a bit too obvious. But this scene has sparked off an idea for an interesting animation, of which I already have some titles (but no storyboard); parallels... time cataclysm... the gate.... time zone.... it will be about parallel universes and a tiny discontinuity, or something intriguing.
