Nate-- I have to agree that the rocks come accross really strongly now. Hopefully that impression will be softened as the plants grow in. There is moss attached to the rocks in some places (though it may be hard to see this) so hopefully it'll grow in and serve to combine the wood and stones more consistantly. BTW the stones serve another very important purpose-- holding back a mountain of aquasoil! I'll show some side photos later, but there's a really big change of substrate height from behind the rocks to infront of the rocks.
Mrbelvedere-- It is kind of boring to see the same stuff all the time, isn't it? For me, my idea is to try and push myself, as well as make a scape that could only exist because of me-- because of experiences and thoughts and a situation that are mine. Everyone has unique creative skills and unique experiences, so harnessing the strength from that aspect of us would help creative scaping, right?
I also respect your ability to refrain from judging lay outs until they're finished. In truth, I would do better to have a bit more patience like that. |
