Creeping floral design

[FOGOLD]

I see a creeping floral pattern on the terrain when I look down? Looks like a graphical glitch. Other than that it's fine. That was new terrain last night.

I see same thing.

I only started noticing it when the sun was getting lower on the horizon.

Another thing I noticed is that when looking at smoke or other objects just over the small treeline objects (not the forrest), it removes the objects behind them.
Hard to explain. I'll go upload a pic.

Both these were not present in the previous beta.
