I'd also suggest more trans-clear/blue brick as well. And just so you all know,
it took me about 5+ times to get both of the pond fed watter falls the way that
I liked them on both of mountains that I have done. It's not an easy thing to
do, but the affect that Thomas has created does convey the thought.

Ok, so I'm the BURP king (well, at least part of the aristocracy of BURPdom).
Yes, just about anything helps with getting rid of the regularity of a BURP.
(Listed IMO in best order of use):Slopes, other bricks in front of the BURP(s),
SNOT BURP(S), SNOT brick, and plants all help out.
Just remember, no mountain (in any form) is built in a day. Thomas, your
mountain is fine the way it is, if that's the way you want it/envisioned it. I'm
sure a lot of us could suggest improvements till it was right out of what we
would have invisioned it.
C-ya!
