4:10AM!..  You'd better change the subject header :)

That's quite a good ASCII landscape, Martin. It's hard to mould those separate
items to a whole, even when you draw of a model. (ever since I had a try at a
landscape, I fancy myself to be an expert ;) Here are some thoughts:

1. The pic's a bit pale. Try adding contrast by putting in a shade here and
there.
2. The perspective's a bit weak. By darkening (and sharpening) the objects in
the foreground, and making the background dotty on purpose, there should be a
stronger effect.

I'm not sure this works in ASCII, though...
