A Question of Scale

[Midgardsormr]

I have a piece of terrain I've been working on, and I'm not certain what kind of scale I should give it. So, please take a look at this image and tell me how much territory do you think you're looking at?

[Torq]

Just at a glance I would say it looks about 40 miles x 40 miles. I may be biased though because I know where it comes from.

For me it's impossible to say. I can't see a 'scale clue'

[waldronate]

Probably a few hundred thousand light years across. Unless it's not a gas density field for a galactic jet.

[torstan]

I'd say 5-10 miles to a side - the end of a decent sized mountain or small range.

[Sigurd]

No more than a millimeter across, corner to corner, but I'd get it treated before it grows. It looks like that white bit is dying.

I'd love to turn these answers into a poll!

Alright, so since I'm getting serious answers anywhere from 5 to 40 miles across, I'm probably safe in calling it ten miles.

Although once the suggestion that its a cosmological event got in my head, I'm having a hard time seeing something other than nebula in it. (I think, though, it's safe to say that I wouldn't describe a gas density field as "terrain.")

Thanks for the input, everyone. The lack of a scale clue was deliberate; I didn't want to influence the evaluation with anything other than the mountain itself.
